I found this Tipula-like insect yesterday in Brussels (Belgium) sitting on Urtica dioica. Is it a Tipula species? Bart Hanssens (http://www.cebe.be cebe attached the following image:  [63.15Kb] |

Hi Bart Nephrotoma perhaps. A closely related genus (to Tipula) of similar size. The thoracic markings should identify it. Usually the markings are a more contrasted black and yellow. Was it newly emerged? Nice clear photo  |
