Hello! Birgit Gabriel asked me to post these photos here of a larva (size about 25 mm) she found in a dead oak near Berlin/Germany on May-19, 2007. I could not really help her, but I vaguely thought it could perhaps be some Tipulid larva (of the wood breeding species) (??).

Hello, cosmln! cosmln wrote: this is already a nymph. Ah, yes. Now that you state it... I had Xylophagids in mind, but I only thought of the larvae, which look quite different. So I had ruled that out... try to keep that one and see what emerge (or your friend keep that). The pics are of last May...

This one is a male pupa of crane fly in the genus either Ctenophora or Tanyptera. The large, broadly flattened, deeply crenulated margin of the breathing horns are a important character to recognize pupae of this group of crane fly. |
