Can anyone identify this large cranefly? Several were out today in a water meadow looking for mates.

My guess is Tipula lateralis. It is an early species. Cp. http://www.bugsan...tml#TipLat.

Many thanks Sundew, form online photos I have now checked, T. lateralis looks just right and as well as the early emergence, the location is correct also - on damp water meadows next to a stream.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
