Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Plastered egg clutch

Hello,
This cluster of eggs, covered with a kind of plaster, was found under a leaf of a weed (Lactuca?).
Tens of larvae emerged on the same day, breaking a piece of the "plaster".
We hope we are right and they are Diptera indeed, but we can't figure out more about them. Can you maybe tell us more?
Thanks for your help!
