Ctenophora
ornata  |
||
| This is another of the large and spectacularly marked Crane Flies, but this species is perhaps the most beautifully marked. This male Ctenophora ornata, was found on the trunk of one of the old ancient Oaks, in an area of Sherwood Forest that had recently been cleared as part of Sherwood's management plan. It was found in early July 2009, but despite being confident of the initial identification, waited a year before getting confirmation from John Kramer of the Tipulidae Recording Scheme. Ctenophora ornata is currently assigned RDB1 status and classed as endangered. The only other known UK sites where it occurs are the New Forest and at Windsor Great Park.
