Hi Ingrid, welcome to forum. Your insect, by the way is a Limoniid crane fly, lives near water. Other limoniids are usually much bigger.

Hello,
thank you very much for the fast determination!
I hope, I can still attach a question!!??
Is this a Limoniid crane fly too? I fotographed it near a pond (Furth im Wald, Bavaria) on 2005-05-01.

Greetings
Ingrid
