Hi, I found this couple on my window in Milan (Italy),
Someone knows the ID?
Could be T. maxima or T. paludosa??

These craneflies are genus Nephrotoma. I can not iD them further from this picture than Nephrotoma sp.

Thank you Andre,
for me the genus is enough, I know it's so hard identify them from just a little photo!
thank you again :)
