I work with fossil insects and came across what I believe is a marine fly pupa. It is from Arviat, Nunuvut area collected inland from the base of a soil profile. The sample contains both terrestrial fossils as well as marine algae and unknown marine? pupa. I would appreciate help in identifying the pupa, even if it is just to family or better genus. The green grid lines are 1 mm by 1 mm. Thank you very much! Alice

I am new to this site and am having trouble attaching the jpgs. Hopefully it has worked otherwise can someone help me on how to attach images. Thanks again!

Hi Alice. Check the size of the jpg. If its too big it simply just doesn't attach.

Thanks Graeme but the file size of the jpg image is 44 KB.

I'll try it again.

There were additional dots (.'s) in the file name and then it certain to fail. They are not allowed to prevent rogue files being attached.
Paul Beuk attached the following image:

Ephydridae; genus not sure, but looks like Scatella.
Try again in the larva section.

Thank you atylotus member! I had almost given up trying to attach my unknown pupa jpg and asked Paul Beuk to attach it. I hadn't realized the syntax was so critical in file attachments. I thought I was being spam filtered out with regards to attachments.
Back to you and your help. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
This site is fantastic once you learn how it works.
