Hello! Found last night at our house (Ostwestfalen/Germany), length about 15 mm. Is this a Tipulid or Limoniid? Thanks!

Tipulidae. Antennal segments less than 13, and no Sc1 present. |

I know the pixels are compressed here (high compression indeed). But the ruptures seems to represent one segment, that's why I count less 13 segments. Next time, took photos in lateral view to head profile so we can see the maxillary palps. And a close-up of antennae, and a pic of one wing itself, if possible. |
