Found 29.03.21 between rotten leaves under beeches in southern Germany, 500m There were at least 10 individuals together. Someone said they could be Sciaridae, but all pictures I found showed greyish larvae, never that kind of yellow. Seems like a big amount of fat ? Is there sombody who can help me to identify ? Thank you for your answer. Joerg Brucklacher Forest Ranger and friend of nature Joerg Brucklacher attached the following image:  [163.04Kb] Edited by Joerg Brucklacher on 08-04-2021 12:20 |

This is a Mycetophilidae. The larvae have a large ventral opening of the head capsule, unlike Sciaridae. This ventral opening can be seen in the third photo
