Re: Larve
Seb, an interesting find and nicely shown.
75RR, this is an immature fly. The problem IDing it is that it is not strictly a larva but a pupa, as shown by the developing wings, and these can look a fair bit different. I do not know a general guide, but this one looks a lot like pictures of Ceratopogonidae (punkies, no-see-ums, or biting midges), which share the same sort of abdominal spines and forward projections.

Thanks actinophrys, had not allowed for an intermediate stage. I imagine a sequence of drawings from egg through larva through pupa would be handy.actinophrys wrote: 75RR, this is an immature fly.
