Hi to all!

I reared this crane fly from the larva which has been found on May 21 in soil in Moscow region, Russia. Imago left the pupa on June 1.

I hope it's possible to define this species from these photos:

Thanks in advance!

I'd say female of Nephrotoma crocata. However, I am by far no Tipulidae expert!

Thank you very much! I'm no Tipulidae expert too, but at least my specimen is very similar to the photos of N. crocata from Internet.

No doubt, it is Nephrotoma crocata

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
