Great pictures of Syrphidae larvae. Are you trying to rear them as well?
Always interesting!

Thanks! No, I only photograph them :)

It is probably a Syrphini (though also Pipiza looks quite similar), and then maybe Dasysyrphus.
But it's all guesswork...

This is Meligramma triangulifera. The colour pattern in this species is variable, yet characteristic.
