Hi everyone!
I'm studying aquatic larvae in bromeliads for my master thesis but since I just started to deal with these little guys I'm having quite a hard time identifying them, so I'll really thankful I you cold help with some of them.

May I suggest to post photo's of them on this forum or try using Smith (1989) for family/tribe/genus level. ID to Species level is only possible when you breed them to the adult stages.

the photonames must not contain spaces, so name you photo's as simple as possible, for instance 01.jpg or something like that.
