Hi, in October I collected this larva in forest and today I found it to be already adult. Is it a Platyura female? Thanks!

No, Platyura have wing vein R4 ending in R1. Looks like Cerotelion sp. to me.

so long,

Thank You, this was collected with a bigger piece of rotting wood-decaying polypore, I took a small piece of this fungus, put it in a 5cm x 5 cm x 5 cm box, put it in a colder place and opened it once in every month since october. So they are really easy to rear.

PS: Thanks Paul!
