Hello Forum,

please can you say me, what larva of Syrphidae is shown in this piclink: http://www.kreu-f...rve_01.jpg
- photo by Angela Schwarz

This photo was made in Bavaria last year at June 09, this larva was ca. 4-5 mm long, relishing on aphids.

Thanks a lot, Martin...

ps: I guess it is not easy to determine such a larva...

Your guess is very good, it isn't very easy.
But let's give it a try, I think this could be the young larva of Scaeva pyrastri! That because of the shape, the stripe on it's back and the color. Greetings,
