Just a bit of a fun upload by me today.
How do they do it. The wind was strong, the branches were swaying yet it still managed to cling on! Believe it is a crane fly but if anybody can confirm I would be grateful.

Comments, criticism or mods all welcome.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking.
As always large is best.

How it manages anything with those legs is a mystery, never mind this incredible stance you captured! What a great shot! Well spotted.
