Hi everyone,

who's got an idea, what this could be?

Length 2 - 2,5 mm

Thanks for your help!

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

Yeah, that's wild indeed Wink
So you think it could be Chrysopidae, maybe a young larval stage?

Here's another specimen, same place and time, 2,5 mm.

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.
