Hey As I compare my pictures with the features and characteristics about Chironomidae/ Orthocladiinae Smittia larvae I suggest It could be a right determination.. I had only one specimen to make observations But further ? Could this larva be Smittia Aterrima ? The organism was 5 mm length, color is very light green with pink and viola nuances Found in Netherland near belgian border, in a water puddle on a boat along the river Meuse, near bird colonies Presence of filamentous algae, rotifers Philodina Roseola and Haematococcus pluvialis macrozooides As it was raining, and all submerged by water I don't know is this lonely larva was aquatic or not    The anterior parapods       Funny to see the fused parapods YouTube Video merci beaucoup SDS Edited by solito de solis on 13-02-2016 21:10 |
