Tipula paludosa is a species of true craneflies, family Tipulidae. It is also known as the European crane fly or the marsh crane fly. [1] It is a pest in grasslands of Northwest Europe and has been accidentally introduced to North America.
Tipula paludosa is widespread throughout the West Palaearctic and Nearctic. [1] [2] For identification see the Keys to the Insects of the European Part of the USSR [3] and the Diptères: Tipulidae. [4] Tipula paludosa is a very common species flying in May and July to October peaking in August and September.
Tipula paludosa larvae live in the upper soil layers and are the major insect pest in grasslands of Northwest Europe. [5] [6]
Oscheius tipulae is a species of nematodes, described in association of the leatherjacket, the larva of T. paludosa. [7] [8]
Crane fly is a common name referring to any member of the insect family Tipulidae, of the order Diptera, true flies in the superfamily Tipuloidea. Cylindrotominae, Limoniinae, and Pediciinae have been ranked as subfamilies of Tipulidae by most authors, though occasionally elevated to family rank. In the most recent classifications, only Pediciidae is now ranked as a separate family, due to considerations of paraphyly. In colloquial speech, crane flies are sometimes known as mosquito hawks or daddy longlegs, a term also used to describe opiliones or the family Pholcidae, both of which are arachnids. The larvae of crane flies are known commonly as leatherjackets.
