I don't know if this is the same species but this is an other specimen and it's got some simularity with the one above here.

It looks like the lower one has much longer and stronger setae. My guess would be that that one is a Stratiomyidae. |

I think that the lower larva is much more likely to be something like Pericoma (Psychodidae). I don't think it's a strat. The upper larva may be a psychodid too, but I'm not sure.
