I found what i hope is a distinctive Cranefly, unfortunately i did not collect a specimen.
I thought it might be Tipula rufia but no dark stripe on the thorax, could it be a Lunatipula sp?
I'm just starting to learn craneflies so any pointers would be helpful.
It was in scrub in a mozaic of chalk grassland, scrub and surrounded by deciduous woodland. seen 12/5/20 it was one of the largish craneflies.
thank you
