Hi,

I have photographed this larva which I suspect could belong to the suborder Tipulomorpha.
20km west of Paris in the litter of a deciduous forest.
Any opinion?
Thanks for your help!

Looks like Bibio larvae to me.

Thanks Irwin, you are probably right, pictures of Bibionidae are very resembling.

For what it is worth, I agree with Tony: Bibio sp.
