Hi, I'm new around here so keep me straight if I step out of line.
Can I have some help please identifying this Crane fly?
Found in rural east Lincs, UK, Sept 2007, attracted to light.
I am assuming it is a Tipula species from the wing venation - maybe T. varipennis ?
Or T. pabulina, T. submarmorata or T. lateralis?
Male image attached.
Female image to follow - hopefully of the same species!
What do you think?
