| This large and spectacularly marked Crane Fly was initially found on a small Birch at Sherwood Forest in May 2010. The NBN Gateway lists no previous Sherwood Forest NNR records for Tanyptera nigricornis, but Carr's book lists two historical records dating to the early 1900's. A second record followed in early June 2010, with a male found resting on Umbellifers. Further sightings in 2011 have shown T. nigricornis to be quite common, with males (lower two photographs) frequently noted flying around scrub Birches in open situations. | ||
