Hello,

A friend of mine have some "strange animals" at home.
They are average 3 cm long. They first crawl at the surface of this pond, then on the ground, and finally inside the house a few meters away. Pond is overhanged by Salix. This occured during August (and still goes on as far as I know), in East part of France.

I'm not even sure wether it is an insect or not, but in case it is, I'd say it is some Diptera larva (Tipulidae ? Syrphidae ?).

What do you think about it ?
Thanks !

I think it's a Stratiomyidae larva: developed conical head, flattened body, visible segmentation of thorax, short spiracular tube, can crawl out of water

Probably Stratiomys at that size.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
