Hello everyone,

what is to say about this female? I've never seen a similar abdomen before, but maybe it's nothing really irregular and a normal species I just haven't noticed yet? Somehow it looks like an accident.

Thanks for your answer,

Lennart

Abdomen is not normal (crooked)
This is Tipula (Tipula) paludosa
