Good evening everybody, in my garden, in the North of Germany I found this big cranefly on the 30th of August. Can it be Tipula oleracea? It was grey with a little violet shine and fatter than all the other Tipula I've seen. Who can help? Oh no, I can't get the photos in

This is Tipula paludosa male, having 14 antennae segments, T.oleracea has 13.
Best regards, Andre |
