Hello!

These pics are from yesterday evening in our garden (Ostwestfalen/Germany). The larva was about 3-4 mm long and crawling on an old banana. Any hints? Thanks in advance!

Hello!

No ideas about this one? Could it belong to the Drosophilidae, which were numerous on the bananas before?
Best regards,
Jürgen

Hi J?rgen,
It looks like a Drosophilidae larvae.

I noticed your reply only today, sorry. Thanks, the larvae at that link really look like mine. Drosophilidae was really the most probable family, but I was not sure.
Best regards,
Jürgen
