Hello,


I've found these two larvae together under a stone in the Lyon metropolitan area (center-east of France) on November 8, 2024.
I was thinking to some Sarginae larvae.
Can we go further?

Looking at the distinct lobes at the anal segment it is very similar to Chloromyia formosa, but I do not know if there are similar species in France

Thanks for the answer!
If this can help, in France we only (if I'm not wrong) have formosa and speciosa in the Chloromyia genus.
French naturalist specialized in spiders.
