Hello Forum,
one more fly from the alder marshland in Hagen (D) 175 m above sea level. This photo I took on August 27th 2007. The plant in the background is
Urtica dioica.
Is it
Tipula spec.? oleracea?
Best wishes
Josef

This female looks like Tipula paludosa based on the wings are shorter than the abdomen. Here is a
key for separating T. paludosa and T. orelacea in North America (both are introduced species).
