Thank you Ruud for indulging me and providing this intimate portrait! It looks a bit like the British species Tipula (Lunatipula) lunata, but the male genitalia are not the same.

It appears that the male abdomen is twisted through 180 degrees compared to the female, is that something that many craneflies do? If so I'd not realised it before.

You are most kind :D!
