I found this little fellow under an old sheet of iron and thought it was a mouse, on closer inspection it looked different to the mice we usually get here. Can you tell me what it is?

Note the very, very long antennae of the cranefly Megistocera filipes. It also has distinctive wing veins and markings.

I found this intriguing-looking insect in a sealed tank of tadpoles. Is it a cranefly and if so, how did it get there? Is that long extension from the head incredibly long antennae or its proboscis? I can't see whether the point of attachment is the head or mouth!
