I found this larva in a tree that was rotting in a forest in Northern Illinois. I was searching for fungus gnats but did not find any. I took a cup of the rotting material and processed it in a Belize Funnel and got this critter. It has grown considerably in the week since I found it eating? There were some Drosophila melanogaster larvae available as well as potting soil in the container where it was kept. The posterior reminds me of a dolichopod, but the anterior end does not look a thing like a doli. Anterior closeup Posterior closeup not sure how to have two photos...

Add a reply to your own message with some text, for example: habitus or anterior part, and you can add the next photo. For each extra photo you want to show you have to add a reply. By the way, I do not know what this is. |
