Hi, this pretty little girl crossed my path in the morning (Frankenhoehe Nature Park, old deciduous forest, -1° on snow). Is it possible to confirm the species by the pilosity of the hind femora? Eric eklans attached the following image:  [75.16Kb] Edited by eklans on 21-02-2021 12:50 |

This morning I've found a male and two females near the place where I found the first female - on snow, 0°C. Male img1 eklans attached the following image:  [61.98Kb] |

From photos it is possible to exclude some species but for definite ID a specimen is needed. C. belgica is possible but so are others.

Check the review by Pjotr Oosterbroek and others, easy to Google. Distribution helps as well. Theo |

Thank you very much, Theo! I've already found the review by Pjotr Oosterbroek and other papers via Catalogue of the Craneflies and I think it could be belgica or lutescens. The other species all have specific visible characters or were not yet! found in Bavaria. I'm trying to find more photos to compare - and hopefully find more in January 2022. Met vriendelijke groet uit het ondergesneeuwd bos in januari, Eric (op jacht naar de sneeuwmug)

Hi Pentti, thanks a lot! The images show that my flies could be lutescens, too, and I must wait to find more next winter to get more details (especially male ventrally). Greetings, Eric Edited by eklans on 21-02-2021 13:14 |
