Hi Roger,

No problem to see the picture.

Nice capture. What camera and lens did you use?

Also, what insect is the larger one?

Hi Jerry, the larger insect is a common crane fly, also known as a daddy long legs. I used a Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro lens on my Nikon D7100.
Also a Nikon SB800 speedlight to supplement the available light, as the subject was in quite deep shadow.

Not at all saying you are wrong as I am not a insect pro, but where I grew up, a daddy long legs was a spider.

Nice image!

Hi OTRTexan, you may be correct about the spider in Texas, but here in the UK, we call Nephrotoma Appendiculata (Spotted Cranefly) a daddy longlegs. ;)
