Hello,
I found these pupae on the same Phragmites reed as I found the Sciomyzids posted in
this thread. Besides Elgiva solicita I saw lots of Sepedon sphegea flies.
Could these pupae stem from one of these species?

I don't know preimaginal Sciomyzidae, but according literature I have it looks like Sepedon sphegea.

I'd say
Episyrphus balteatus (Syrphidae)

I told myself:
"Nikita, if you
don't know preimaginal Sciomyzidae
, you had better keep silence:@"

Are pupaes illustrated in the new finnish Syrphidae book?
