Hi,

can somebody identify this larva that I found in the forest on 6.1.2013?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

this is Tipulidae, but I do not have keys at my disposal right now. Tomorrow I will be back at the lab and check for the genus/speciesname, if possible. Or you can check with Theowald yourself at http://ccw.natura...,_1967.pdf.
The black lobes at the bottom of the photo are the dorsal lobes by the way. Looking through Theowald it resembles Lunatipula subgenus.

Thank you atylotus Smile

Looking through Theowald I would say Tipula lunata, but I'm far from expert (just an amateur photographer) so I will wait on your ID.

Best regards,
