About Styringomyia didyma
Styringomyia didyma belongs to Limoniidae in the order Diptera. Its recorded origin status is introduced.
Natural history and identification
Styringomyia didyma is treated as an introduced crane fly in the Bishop Museum aquatic survey. The report contrasts this widespread immigrant with Hawaiʻi's native crane-fly radiations. A genus-level aquatic association is insufficient to assign a precise larval habitat or breeding season to the Kauaʻi population without species-level observations.
