Hi everyone,

I found this Tabanidae larva last friday in a pond with no connection to other open water (Netherlands, close to Zwolle). Other aquatic fauna consisted mainly of mosquito larvae, leeches, Cloeon dipterum larvae and blue-tailed damselfly-nymphs. No indicators of especially good water quality.

I think this larva belongs to the genus Hybomitra. Is that correct? And if so, is it possible to identify it to species level?

Hallo Rayan
Zeker is dit Hybomitra maar determinatie is alleen mogelijk met anatomisch onderzoek. Ik heb je waarneming al goedgekeurd
Dear Rayan
Hybomitra for sure, but ID to species level is only possible after carefull examination of the internal anatomy
