This 3 mm long juvenil spider was found in a garden with a larva. Could it be a Diptera larva? What genus and perhaps species are the spider? Photo from Kramfors Sweden 62,56N 17,47E 3 april 2009 Thanks for your help in advance Regards Kurt Holmqvist kurt attached the following image:  [140.97Kb] |

The larva is more likely to be an ichneumonid.

Ichneumonidae, subfamily Pimplinae, tribus Polysphinctini. The parasitic larvae usually stick across the front part of the opisthosoma, which matches well the situation that you depicted. The spider I saw (http://www.dipter...d_id=15117), however, bore a larva on its side. Regards, Sundew |

Hello! The spider is Steatoda bipunctata (Theridiidae). In 2007 I have once bred such a larva on a Tetragnatha obtusa to the wasp: http://insektenfo...eadid=8020 (Text in German).

C Rollard which is a specialist in the spiders and the parasites of their nests cannot pronocer on the family or the esp!ce at this stage, me either although I occupy myself of Ichneumons!

Thanks for looking at my pictures and trying to find what the larva could become. I will try to see if any adults comes up later. Kurt Holmqvist |
