Hi,

I'm sure someone can tell me sth. about these two larvae - for the most part they look the same, I found them with a distance of 1 m from each other. What is to say about them?

Thank you very much.

Both Anopheles spec. (Culicidae). ID to species level needs examination of the eggs or barcoding.:o

Oh dear, that's heavy. But it's great to know it's Anopheles - that's much more than "midge" ;) :)
Thank you again!
