Can anyone give me any pointers on this cranefly? From heathland/woodland edge in southern England on 25th April this year. I think it is a Limoniid, but struggled using a combination of the Royal Entomological Society handbook and Alan Stubbs draft keys from the Dipterists Forum website. Got it down to Neolimnomyia but with little confidence.

I'd say Phylidorea squalens.
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
