Hi everyone, who's got an idea, what this could be? Length 2 - 2,5 mm Thanks for your help! Lennart 2015-10-31, Northern Germany, S-H, Mohrkirch, fallow land, on wood in a wood pile Lennart Bendixen attached the following image:  [190.62Kb] Edited by Lennart Bendixen on 10-11-2015 21:04 |

Wild guess, if you find it similar as I do: http://agrozoo.ne...0c94b2162a

Yeah, that's wild indeed  So you think it could be Chrysopidae, maybe a young larval stage? Here's another specimen, same place and time, 2,5 mm. Lennart Bendixen attached the following image:  [144.44Kb] |

There are no visible legs or head, so I think Chrysopidae is unlikely. The general appearance and orange colour suggest Cecidomyiidae, but I'm not sure which genus.

Thanks Tony, for clearing it up! I didn't even think of diptarans, because of their flat appearance, but now I took a look at several saprophilous Cecidomyiidae and I found some that looked quite similar, but without getting to know the genus. |
