European
Crane Fly Pest Alert
European Crane Flies (ECF) are relatively large, semi-aquatic (as larvae)
insects. Adults live only a short time whereas larvae may live for a
year or more in moist soil
feeding on organic matter and plant tissue. They generally occur around
permanent bodies of water because of the requirement for damp soil.
Most species go unnoticed except by the people who study them. A few,
however, have adapted to survival in therelatively drier soils away
from permanent water. These species are a concern when they feed on
the roots of turf or other commercially important plants. Read
