Tipula paludosa, known as the European crane fly or leatherjacket, belongs to the Tipula genus, which includes more than 2,000 species worldwide. It is native to northwestern Europe but has been introduced to parts of North America, including Canada, likely through soil dispersion and other human activity, and its larvae have become a major pest of lawns, pastures and hayfields by damaging the roots, stems and leaves of various plants.
