This photo was taken on 25th June 2006 in Montesinho - Portugal. (extreme Nordeast of Portugal) with nikon coolpix 3100.

This tipulidae fly mimics a wasp.

Fauna Europaea http://www.faunaeur.org/species_list.php Lists five species two with subspecies other than the also present nominate for Portugal. I think we may be sure there are more.

An interesting QUESTION: Which is the specie of WASP very similar to this tipulidae? Any advances and some photos would be great! Thank you!

This Nephrotoma is not so common here... I never seen here in Center of Portugal, just in Nordeast yesterday... but not sure if it is really common or uncommon (in Portugal)...

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
