This Lauxaniidae I found yesterday (sice about 4-5 mm) at Giethoorn, was eating a larvae of a leaf-miner fly ?. Can it be a Tricholauxania sp. ? Greatings Joke javanerkelens attached the following image:  [113.13Kb] Edited by javanerkelens on 30-07-2008 21:11 |

I think it was not eating larvae, rather licking the plant juice caused by injury by the mining larva.

(they al look almost the same to me....yellow) And I think, that what I see as larve, is the proboscis, but on the photo it looks a little bit as larve..  Greatings Joke (also thanks Gabor!)
