this fly has double pale banding in the apical half of the femur, I've looked at pictures of Limoniids and many have a single pale band but none have the two pale bands shown here. So might it be a gnat instead of a cranefly? Found in woodland Jeremy jeremyr attached the following image:  [86.31Kb] Edited by jeremyr on 15-12-2015 23:39 |

The triple dark bands on the femur suggests Limonia nubeculosa, one of the limoniid craneflies

Vein R1 transverse so Metalimnobia.

Are you sure about this, Dimitry? None of the British Metalimnobia has more than two dark rings on the femora, as far as I am aware.
