 Hello, this 15 mm long crane-fly I've photographed a few days ago come to the house wall. Is it possible to determine the genus or even the species?
Thank you and best regards, Frank

 This is certainly a male Dictenidia bimaculata. The only species in western Europe with two spots on each wing (what's in a name?).

Cheers,
Walther

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
