Hello Forum,

this might be a larva from a Pachygaster spec. Jürgen Peters reported me on insektenfotos.de about his thread with a similar picture in diptera.info.

What can be said additionally? Is a closer ID possible? I found the larva on a leaf of Urtica dioica and, quite obviously, it fed on this plant.

Best wishes, Josef
