Hey

3 different larvae of Diptera
The 1st one was catched alive and I could make pictures of it and a video clip will follow

The 2 others are 10 years old and were preserved in formaline

1st one long siphon 30 mm with siphon extended

Thanks to you Atylotus
I wish now present the 2 other organisms
I believe they are, based just on the mentum

Ptychoptera albimana and Ptychoptera lacustris (Paraptychoptera)

I think I have to open new threads ?
