Found in Dombosch, The Netherlands, oktober 11, 2010.
As the posterior spiracles are on a chitinized plate, this should be a Pipunculidae. Can anybody confirm this?

I have never seen Pipunculidae larva, but I can look in Ferrar. Posterior spiracles - are they with 3 openings and in the base of posterior "horns" or somewhere else?B)

Pipunculidae are exclusively parasitic as larvae
