Dear colleagues,
I found these larvae on decomposing cow meat (experiment) in a salt marsh habitat on Spiekeroog island (Germany) mid-September 2015. Does anyone have an idea at least which family we are dealing with here? We have species 'E' and 'ZE'.
You can find the picture here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b0nlkj7h4z7e82q/AAASEwPmuYO3tdM6SbN9bTfZa?dl=0
Thanks in advance!
Hagen

I think they are both Muscidae flies for there is an extra bar of chitine just ventral of the mandible.
