Hi Rui,
Is it still alive?! Please try to rear it! And make good pictures please. Also preserve everything, so also the cocoon after the fly emerged.
I am very interested in all background info on this finding (see pm as well!)
Greetings, Andr

Sorry Andre, I don?t have the larva with me. Usually I don't keep the insects I see. But if you want I can catch syrphids for you (but killing them is another story).
