Hey, I found this, I think it is a crane fly larva, in northern Germany in some very old and moisture wood. Can you help me ID it? Gerrit Oehm attached the following image:  [112.66Kb] |

Do you happen to have some more photo's especially the one showing more deteils of the anal segment? I don't see/hardly see any (distinct) anal lobes, so I'm only guessing Tanyptera atrata (or similar species?) |

Maybe this close-up helps, unfortunately I have no better pictures of it. Gerrit Oehm attached the following image:  [31.37Kb] |

Tanyptera atrata is a possibele species, from the habitat as well- I found already the Imago... |

sorry, it is the ventral side showing the anal opening. but as I don't see any (distinct) anal lobes (and the habitat fits), T. atrata seems still the most possible species. I guess you didn't collect it? If so, fixate it in hot water (euphemism for kill), and preserve it in ethanol (70-80%) and send it to me. If not, think of me next time  |

Thank you, I will do that next time... I want to learn more about diptera anyhow, now I am done with high school, so I might be able to do a practical training somewhere, were I work with diptera, to learn the scientific work... |
