Hello dipterists
a very tiny larva about 1mm max found in brackish water in Alentejo/Portugal
IT seems to me Chaoboridae larva
But the head profile seen from abov is wider than common Chaoboridae larvae
COuld it be because of the juvenile stage of the larva ?
The head is not crushed by the coverglass !!!
No siphon, then no
Mochlonyx sp.
what's your feeling ?
Merci beaucoup

a juvenile Chaoborus indeed, probably freshly moulted
