Big grey Tipulidae. By comparison with gallery seems to be T. luna female. Is this correct >

Given the time of year I would rule out T. luna. Most likely it is Tipula paludosa or perhaps T. oleracea. The whitish longitudinal band on the wings is typical of the two species. It's a shame we cannot count the antennal segments. Tipula paludosa has 14 segments - a point that is unique. The females are short winged with wings shorter than length of abdomen. The most likely of the two is, however, T. paludosa. A species that peaks in late summer and early autumn and usually is very abundant. Walther |

Just because of the wing-lenght vs abdomen lenght I'd say T.oleracea. My experience is that T.paludosa has a more orange abdomen too. Best regards, Andre |
