Hi,

my mother took this (only) picture of a very large Tipula species.
According to her it must have been about 6 or 7 cm long (I could only see it from a distance and it looked large enough to be a medium sized dragonfly).

Can anyone give us a hint re. identification?

Thanks & Rgds

I thought T. maxima was the biggest one, try this one new in the gallery: http://www.diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=4251
