Hi,

Yesterday I found these larvae on leaves of Populus (probably P. alba or P. canescens)
Doen anybody have a clue to which family/genus/species these larvae belong?

I think they are beetle larvae, possibly Curculionidae (if the have no visible legs) or Chrysomelidae.

I should have added that the larvae are about 1.5 mm long and were collected in Waalwijk (province of Noord-Brabant, The Netherlands).

Thanks Paul. I will try to make better pictures (sharp) and check if there are legs to be found! I will also take home a few and try to rear them.

I would probabably stay with Chrysomelidae. I think most Curculionidae larva develop inside something rather than on something like a leaf.

Hi Xespok,

Thank you for your response. I have been searching on the internet and came to the same conclusion! The larvae are probably chrysomelid larvae. Unfortunately rearing the larvae didn't succeed.

Perhaps Galerucella lineola (Chrysomelidae)

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

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
