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.

Distribution

[edit]

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 Russia[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.

Biological interactions

[edit]

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]
