The principal families that feed on the adult flies are the Caprimulgidae, 
the Cypselidae, the Tyrannidae, the Icteridae, the Hirundinidae, the 
Mniotiltidae, the Troglodytidae, the Paridae, and the Turdidae. 
Many species of birds feed on the larvae of crane-flies, the more notable 
of these being the water-fowl, Anatidae, the shore birds, Scolopacidae, 
and the thrushes, Turdidae. Sim (1907) has recorded the chestnut- 
sided warbler, Dendroica pensylvanica (Linn.) as feeding on Tipula sp.
