Gorgeous Tipulid, guess it is a Nephrotoma sp. Maybe a N. quadrifaria? I can't identify the gender either. Thank you, Joaquim Gaspar Portugal Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [117.17Kb] |

Well, it's a female - ovipositor is clearly visible in the first photo, but that's all I can tell  |

Let me refresh this thread. Any idea about the species of this gorgeous Tipulid? The genus is probably Nephrotoma, by the patterns in the thorax and abdomen. |

I don't think so, the shape of the abdomen iis different as well as the colour pattern |
