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,
