Hello,

I found this larva under a rock at the base of a Pinus tree near Barisciano (AQ), Italy, 1300m a.s.l. on December 29th 2021. Is it possible to determine at least its family from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Most likely Mycetophilidae, but I cannot rule out Sciaridae entirely.
