Can any one tell me a proper translation for this beast? [imgs=http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/winter-crane-fly:trichocera-hiemal is-photo-5096.html]BUG as I cannot describe it properly. It's crane fly or daddy long legs in English.

Thanks

Official name: Koziułkowata komarnica or Koziułkowiec and comes from Tipulidae family.
Olbrzymia muchówka - you can use as an unofficial name, while describing it

Tell me you have koziułkowiec at home and I'll ask you to show me a picture.

It's a kind of giant "komar" and that's the way I describe it.
Make it long-legged "komar" and i'll still understand what are you talking.

That koziukowiec-thing is too scientific.

I didn't see this thread taking off in a big way ;) ;)

In Silesia, they say kopruch for komar. Male mosquito.

Crane fly looks similar to a mosquito but it's not a mosquito as some people may think.
It's muchówka and the Polish proper name as stated above
