Hello,
In the south of France on April 16, 2025.
The insect measures 10 mm long from the eyes to the wingtips.
I didn't know that Limoniidae lay their eggs in the soil after rain, and I just learned this by observing it.
But what do the larvae eat in the soil?
Thank you for your help with the identification.

Thank you very much Dimitry,
I imagine we can't go to the species, but the genus already suits me very well.
