Spring is coming and crane flies with it. I guess this is a Nephrotoma sp., but am not sure which one. Any help?
Thanks,
Joaquim Gaspar

I would say it is a N. quadrifaria. Any ideas?

It is Nephrotoma, however when this picture was taken this year, even in southern Europe it seems to me it is too early for N.qadrifaria (end of april)

Spring is coming very early this year in Portugal. I thougth it might be N. quadrifaria (and not N. appendiculata) because of the dark stigma. Here is a dorsal view.
