Hello everybody, I have no idea, what this midge might be; I have noted, that it is "fairly big". Can someone help? Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), 22. 02. 2016; the fly was attracted by light. Thanks in advance, Michael Michael Stemmer attached the following image:  [94.2Kb] Edited by Michael Stemmer on 31-12-2016 17:58 |

Tipulidae, probably Tipula. The curved veins near wingtip may be distinctive. |

Hello Roger, Tipula rufina sounds good - as it is said here http://www.nature...ula-rufina, the "black strike is diagnostic"; but is that correct? Many thanks, and greetings from the Stux hill, Michael |
