Hello,

here is another larvae, also from the decaying interior of a Cirsium arvense stem. It's from last weekend. Length was about 7-8mm. Is it diptera? Any suggestions what it could be?

Thanks,
Michael

Thank you for your answer. That's a more precise answer than I expected.

Valery -
The orange colour I know is typical for many cecids, but I was puzzled by the pair of long curved spines - is this something you've seen in cecids before?

Tony - I am sorry - I omitted the key word STEM.

Let me think a bit more... I had many thistle stems in my life...

Are you sure it is Diptera not Coleoptera?
At least not Cecidomyiidae really.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
