Hi to all!
I reared this crane fly from the larva which has been found on May 21 in soil in Moscow region, Russia. Imago left the pupa on June 1.
I hope it's possible to define this species from these photos:

Thanks in advance!

I'd say female of
Nephrotoma crocata. However, I am by far no Tipulidae expert!

Thank you very much! I'm no Tipulidae expert too, but at least my specimen is very similar to the photos of
N. crocata from Internet.

No doubt, it is Nephrotoma crocata
