My guess is Tipula lateralis. It is an early species. Cp. http://www.bugsan...tml#TipLat. Regards, Sundew |

Many thanks Sundew, form online photos I have now checked, T. lateralis looks just right and as well as the early emergence, the location is correct also - on damp water meadows next to a stream. Nick Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |
