Hi,

is this a Tipula or a different genus? Is the species identifiable?

Thanks again,

Tipula lateralis?

Hi Jürgen, thank you, seems to be right.
On a well-known German photographer's website I just read as a caption "T. cf. lateralis", but otherwise on a dutch site another photographer wrote, T. lateralis would be very easy to identify. So who's right...(it seems that none of them is an expert) - are there similar species?
Maybe someone can answer this.
Greetings,
Lennart

Hello Lennart,

I personally don't know similar species from Germany. But I am no expert...

Similar specie are the other specie of the T laterals group (T montium, T couckei...)
