Eh, Gordon, where was the picture taken? Your profile still is on Lake Kerkini but I get the feeling this might be a recent picture from the Oriental region... In that case not
Rainieria latifrons but anoither species from the same subfamily

Paul, I've no idea where the photo was taken, my website was recently resold and the new owner did a lot of improvements, including some new, and poorly identified images from who knows where. So it could be from Mars for all I know. It was labeled as Tipulidae, the new owner seems to want to look after the site, but is a techy, not a zoologist.

I have removed the image of this fly. It turns out to be a fly picture from shutterstock. I doubt I can be used without payment. The photographer is Thai by the way so it will be an Oriental one and it turned up in shutterstock under 'cranefly', hence the Tipulidae.
