Tipula lateralis at BMW ?

: Tipula lateralis ???

Hi All,

This cranefly seen in Bluebell Wood SJ315735. The dark line on the thorax, dark wing veins and abdomen pattern lead me to think that it could be Tipula lateralis. Anyone any ideas as to its true identity ?

Cheers,
Harry Davies

Hi All,

I have now had this cranefly identified as Tipula vittata by Martin Harvey, an early flying species.
