Hello,
Found in a spider's web at night near an outside light by my door, near Lincoln UK on 27th October. Size I think around 15mm.
Can it be identified?

Genitalia fit rather well
Tipula staegeri Nielsen, yellowish stigma is another character of this species.

Thank you very much Alex! :)
Is that sure enough to put this in the gallery, maybe
Tipula cf. staegeri?

Well, I cant't be sure for 100%. Hopefully somebody could confirm the id. For now
Tipula cf. staegeri wold be OK.
