Hello!

At first I thought, this 4 mm larva to the left of the wood louse (under piece of wood at forest, northwest Germany) could belong to a beetle (some ladybird larvae have such forked thorns), but someone in another forum wrote, it could be a dipteran larva (Platypezidae?). Any suggestions? Thanks!

Very nice,
Callomyia sp. for sure. Did you collect it? What was the circumstances when you found it? Type of forest, altitude, tree species, mycelium or fungi close to larva?

Hello!

I just found this old thread when searching the forum for Platypezid larvae and noticed, that I must have overlooked Michal's post at that time. Sorry!

I found that larva under a piece of beech at the edge of (mainly) deciduos forest (mostly Fagus, some Quercus, Fraxinus, Carpinus, different bushes, some pines) here in the Teutoburger Wald, altitude 160 m. There are many fungi there under the rotting wood on the ground.

I am only a hobby photographer, not collecting the animals.
Best regards,
Jürgen
