 Yesterday I had several of them in my garden in Brussels. The body-size is 17 mm.
Is it a tipulid or a Limonia.
thanks,
Bart

When flying, the abdomen seems orange:

Less then 14 segments of antennae so not Limonia?

 I should say Tipulidae due to the length of the palps
Best regards,

 This looks like a good match for Tipula (subgenus Savtschenkia) rufina - the dark stripe along the side of the thorax is characteristic, and it is a common early spring cranefly in the UK. Perhaps Tipula cf. rufina is safest Cool.

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
