Rotheray, 2001: 1-15 (report on the search in Scotland for the larva of the priority cranefly L. ecucullata; the breeding requirements are confirmed as similar to congeners such as L. errans and L. remota; the breeding site is wet, decaying wood lying partially immersed in wet seepages and small burns in shaded conditions; larvae were found just under the surface of such wood, in shallow excavated tunnels; small branches of between 3 cm to 10 cm diameter appear to be the most suitable; the species was reared from Birch [Betula], Alder [Alnus] and Oak [Quercus]; see paper for details).
