 Hi,

I collected this larvae near Bristol (UK). It lives in the mudflats by the coast line. Does anyone know what species it might be? I think it's a tipulid larvae. I've had a look at some pictures online and it looks similar to Tipulid luna, Tipulid unta, Ptychoptera sp., though I'm not sure.

These larvae are quite small. I'm afraid I don't have a better picture.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

 dear Daniel
most likely the larvae of Limoniidae, subfamily Eriopterinae. The size, but most of all the constriction just in front of the anal lobes is typical for Eriopterinae. A detailed photo of the anal lobes and head capsule will help in identificationn up to genus-level at most.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
