Is it Nephrotoma lugens???

pilonm Jul 14, 2006 02:11 PM

Hi,

I took those pictures of what I think is a Nephrotoma lugens in my backyard in Quebec Canada. As you can see, one wing is missing... Have I identified it correctly? If I'm right, is there an english name for that insect?

Michel,

It looks like Nephrotoma incurva, but I sort of doubt it. Sorry, I don't have any good references on Tipulidae.

Let me know if you find an ID.

Goodluck
