Please, help me to identify this pupa and larvae collected in heliconia bracts , inside these bracts have water and organic matter accumulated. These specimens collected in October 2012.The microcosm formed within the bracts is classified as Phytotelmata. I have Diptera collected in larval and pupal stage.

The first picture shows Phoridae pupae, I think. |

The pupae look more like Ephydridae to me, They have been recorded in Heliconius bracts before, but I don't think anyone has identified them to genus yet.

Thanks Tony, is difficult to identify the immature to the most specific level. It's a very specific fauna. The identifications are largely at the family level. I have tried at least to identify family. |
