I thought maybe a Tipula rufina, due to the black stripe on the side of the thorax and a female from the ovipositor. Is that correct? Best wishes, Martin Martin Cooper attached the following image:  [192.61Kb] Edited by Martin Cooper on 08-12-2015 11:26 |

T. rufina should be correct, the black stripe is said to be distinctive (http://www.nature...ula-rufina and other websites). Regards, Sundew |

Thanks Sundew. There are no previous records of Tipula rufina in my county of Suffolk on the UK National Biodiversity Network system, although that is probably due to under-recording rather than real scarcity. |
