Hello, I found this larva of a on Picea abies tree. Is it possible to determine at least its family from these photo? Photo on Finland Kokkola 12 April 2019. Thank you in advance, Pentti Pentti Ketola attached the following image:  [150.19Kb] Edited by Pentti Ketola on 02-03-2022 13:30 |

Most likely Mycetophilidae. With these type of larvae you often need to check the ventral side of the headcapsule to separate it from Sciaridae. But I think I can see a large gap there, absent in Sciaridae
