Hello! Are these 4 mm larvae also from Mycetophilidae? Together with many Proteinus ovalis beetles and larvae (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) in a mushroom in our garden (northwest Germany) on first Christmas day.

Did you ever tried to see it in obscurity? Does it glow? |

Hello! firefly wrote: Did you ever tried to see it in obscurity? Does it glow? No. I had read of that, but I thought that phenomenon would only occur in some tropical species?!?

Keroplatidae glowing species can be found from Portugal to Scandinavia. Seemingly more genus does show glow display, like Platyura (Orfelia),etc...
