Hello, In the south of France on April 16, 2025. The insect measures 10 mm long from the eyes to the wingtips. I didn't know that Limoniidae lay their eggs in the soil after rain, and I just learned this by observing it. But what do the larvae eat in the soil? Thank you for your help with the identification.

Is there no Limoniidae specialist on Diptera info? |

Dicranomyia.
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. |

Thank you very much Dimitry, I imagine we can't go to the species, but the genus already suits me very well. |
