Any ideas on this?- suspect it is a hoverfly larvae- about 6mm long on an aphid infested Acer tree taken yesterday South coast UK. Thanks Brian V. Edited by LordV on 08-05-2006 07:00 |

H4ello Brian, Yes, it is a hoverfly larva from the Syrphini. I think this might be the larva of Syrphus ribesii, which occurs in different color forms. They feed on aphids. Greetings, Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
