I found several of these fly puparia in medieval latrines from Copenhagen, Denmark. Anyone know what genus or species it belongs to? About 2 mm long.
Found them in samples with
Fannia scalaris,
Thoracochaeta zosterae,
Ischiolepta pusilla,
Muscina stabulans, Limosininae spp.,
Hydrellia spp. - and others if that helps. It may not have anything to do with faeces as all kinds of organic material was dumped in the latrines.

Hmm yes - it does resemble
Phytomyza chaerophylli although it is not that species. Might not get any closer. Thanks
