Today I found a Giant sabre comb horn cranefly in my yard near a compost pile that is very woody and being left to age. I use an app called picture insect to identify any unknown insects I find on my property and learn more about there role in my ecosystem. This Giant Sabre comb horn cranefly aids in the detrital decomposition process and feeds on rotting wood as well as fungus, so it makes sense that I found an adult near the aging compost.

That does seem to match the picture I took. Thanks for the recommendation on the app!
