I had this exact picture on my regional test. What is it, what does it eat, and what class is it?

I'm thinking either crane fly or asian tiger mosquito. I think all asian tiger mosquitos are black and white though, and they are not categorized in a class, so I'm going to go with crane fly, class 2, eats small insects and debris.
Never seen one in that color though.

Also, if you need to answer the diet of an organism during a competition, how specific does it need to be? For example, the only thing I can find for crane flies diet is that it eats small insects and debris. Is that clear enough?

Yup, it is a cranefly. Adults usually don't feed, though. Your turn!

Found the picture after searching "Cranefly color"
Just happens to be a difference species of cranefly, which is a broad category.

So for the next organism
name, class, what does it indicate?
