hello, I found these larvae in Bavaria,Germany in oktober'14 in/on a fresh dead deer lying in a damp forrest. ...it was an impressive vivid cluster of larvae surrounded by spume

as an addition I took photos from flies present on the corps...maybe it helps by ID.
feel free to ID the flies as well Smile

many thanks in advance

Chris

fly1 is Calliphoridae and Muscidae
fly2 is probably Fannia
fly3 is probably Muscidae
fly4 and fly5 are Calliphoridae

thanks a lot, John.
I think fly 1+4+5 could be calliphora vicina , but the question on Larvae ID still remains...the flies were just meant to be a hint for possible larvae ID
thanks for looking into this...chris

The larva are most likely Calliphoridae, no Fannidae can be seen on the photo. I cannot exclude Muscidae, but the anal segment in caudal view reminds me of Calliphoridae.

I found a "Key for identification of European and Mediterranean blowflies (Diptera, Calliphoridae) of forensic importance Third instars " ( http://www.eafe.org/Members_area_files/Szpila_key_blowflies_larva.pdf ) which I try to use for ID.
But I ,being a notorious amateur, came not further than Id-ing the larvae as a 3 instar. (Calliphoridae?) as
atylotus already mentioned...thanks for that,atylotus Smile

But I'm afraid that the close-ups you will find beneath are not enough helpful for further Identification..

thanks anyway
