Hello,

about two month ago I took some water from a pond home with me and last week I found this 3cm long Stratiomyidae-larva in it. In another forum it was mentioned that it looks like a Odontomyia sp. and after searching this forum I thought it might be Odontomyia viridula? Will the fly emerge this year or does it hibernate? If the latter would it be possible to put the box in the basement, because I'm not sure, if the water in it will not freeze completley if I leave it on the balcony.

With kind regards,
Kathrin
