Hi, this cranefly was inside on 13th May. The large spots on the wings make me think it could be Rhipidia maculata female, but I am only guessing! There is a male in the Gallery. Thanks! Lincoln UK. blowave attached the following image:  [94.09Kb] |

How about Sylvicola fenestralis? There's a dark one on Gardensafari which looks like it. http://www.garden...uitoes.htm Edited by blowave on 31-10-2008 01:04 |

I posted one of these on 16/09/08 and didn't get a reply. It is in danger of falling off the bottom of page 38 as I type this quick reply.  .Regards Roger |

Bump it quickly then Roger if it's still there!  I posted a few craneflies a while back too with no answer, these good people were probably out looking for more flies to take pics of I feel safe enough to call it Sylvicola fenestralis for my records, it is common. If Paul feels that's safe I would put it in the gallery here too! Janet |
