Through the previous and pragmatic help of Atylotus, I could easily ID this diptera larvae
And better, I can observe this larva alive, grazing and shredding green and filamentuous algae
and the video
YouTube Video
thanks

Thank you Cranefly
Here is the must
Video clip on the latest moments of a larva
just becoming a pupa and fixing itself in a wood piece crack
Another one, older pupa is fixed on a Lemna stem
All these larvae were found in a very green sample: many Stentors polymorphus rotifers (clusters) and the very nice flatworm Dalyellia viridis(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urq1i3goepo)
These Setacera larvae and pupae were very nice to observe
