Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Larva under Ivy leaf

Hello,

I found this on the ground under a rotting Ivy leaf on 6th January. It's also under a large Hore Chestnut tree with leaves on the ground. Size 8mm or less. Near Lincoln UK.

We have had at least a month of very cold weather with temps. down to -15C so the Ivy leaf was rotting.

Does anyone have an idea which family it might belong to? Thanks!

Janet :)
