A cranefly sp. from Stockgrove CP Beds
Here is another of the Beds cranefly species that I have from last year. This one was from Stockgrove Country Park on 25 April 2011. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I do have the specimen.
Many thanks
Alan

Going just on general appearance this looks like Tipula (subgenus Yamatotipula) lateralis, but to key these out requires close examination of the ovipositor, and I can't confirm it 100% from the photos. But maybe John Kramer or someone else can say more about it.
