Dear all,
on 06.04.2022 I found this larva in a small pond near Wenslingen, Switzerland. Its length was approximately 2-3 cm long. Do you know the genus / species?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best, Adrian

I also think that this would be Odontomyia cf ornata. I write cf because i'm not familiar with the Swiss fauna

Thank you! That looks good. Do you think I could rear them to get a look on the imago? If so, how should I do that?
