Hi, Yesterday I saw this puparium on a sunny brick wall. It should contain a Syrphid, but can a subfamily or a tribe be recognized? Thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [151.96Kb] |

Only subfamily Syrphinae is normally found in the open as larvae or pupae. |

Yes it's hoverfly's pupa. Size? For example: Paragus has spiked larvae, but also Dasysyrphus (the latter appears more likely to me, considering larva's colours).

Length is about 4 mm. Though several Paragus species are said to occur in the region, I saw Dasysyrphus much more often. |
