Hello, in summer 2007 I made this picture in the middle of Germany, close to a little lake. Length was about 3-4cm. No doubt that it is some crane fly, but which species? Any help ist appreciated!

Maybe Sylvicola sp. (Anisopodidae)? |

No, this is likely to be a Limoniid crane fly. I doubt the size though.

Sorry, size including legs - this is of course a big difference. I don't know Sylvicola sp., but the pictures of this species that I found were mostly with much shorter legs... :-S Cheers Wahrmut |
