Hello,

are these two Limoniids both Rhipidia maculata males? Both visited the light in our garden (northwest Germany) in mid to end October. The one on the first two pictures measured only about 6 mm, the one on pics 3 and 4 about 9 mm.

Evidently Rhipidia maculata
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.
