Hello!

I know this must be a Diptera larva, and I have seen it somewhere already, but I can't remember... Frown Found today at the stem (on the surface) of a mushroom in our garden (northwest Germany). Length 6-7 mm.

Interesting, thanks! I have searched the forum and found some Fannia larvae, but those were more hairy. Maybe other species?!
Best regards,
Jürgen

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
