Hi. Do I assume correctly that this is Tipulidae? Would anyone have more info on the ID? Location Singapore. Rainforest habitat.

Keroplatidae subfamily Macrocerinae. Probably Macrocera but I don't know if there are related genera in Singapore. |

Wing pattern is similar to that of M. trispina Coher, 1963 (Nepal) and fryeri Edwards, 1913 (Sri Lanka); a specimen needed for decisive ID though.
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. |
