Hello, this 7-8mm larvae is from two days ago from the pith of an old Cirsium arvense stem near Cologne. I'm not even sure whether it's a diptera larvae. Is it? Perhaps Tephritidae? Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [17.91Kb] |

Not Tephritidae surely, if the substratum was decayed it may be some Sciara (in case it is Diptera). |

Thank you for your answer, the substrate was indeed decaying. The thistle was from last summer and has been dead for 2 or 3 month, and got some heavy frost in january. The larvae were found in the humid base of the stem. Michael |
