Hello Andre,

The posterior breathing tube seems to be fused. That's a typical feature for Syrphidae larvae. Looks to me like a Syrphus larvae, but I don't have the literature at hand (I'm in the middle of moving house...)

Greetings,

Ectemnius

Bedankt Ectemnius!

I am very happy with Syrphidae! It gives me a self-esteem boost knowing that I am learning really something. ;)

Groetjes,
