Hello I've found that Cranefly in a wet area (Carex + Alnus) inside an oak and hornbeam wood. It measures 26 mm (head+ body). I've no doubt that it is genus Tipula and I do suppose it would be of greater help if it has its wings opened... And...er... I forgot to look for its sex. However, it has beautiful green eyes  and probably white spots on wings (I know, you can't see the pattern).Even a group of suitable species will be welcome. Thank you  |

It is female. The tip of the ovipositor is visible. |

Well, if you want a group a species, i think it could be Tipula luna or decipiens  |
