From midwest Sweden 2006-07-02. If you ever tried taking photographs of flies with a compact camera you understand why it lacks sharpness ;) I suppose it is a Tipulid. Even though the photo sucks, the yellow color of the body and the special white marks on the wings make me think there is maybe a chance of an id :)

Five days later I took these at the same place. I think it is the same species.

Looks like subgenus Lunatipula to me, but can't see the genitalia clearly enough to say any more than that.

Ok, thanx Martin! I checked my photos but couldn't find any better ones of the rear end.
