 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.

 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.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
