Hello! Are these tiny larvae under an old plank near the forest (northwest Germany, March-29) Diptera? I am sure, I have seen similar beasts, but don't remember where...

Should be Ceratopogonidae.

Fortunately there are only two genera in this subfamily (at least in Europe), and they have very different larvae. - It's often not possible to place larvae in a genus!
