Hi,
I found this larva in a small stream in West Finland.
I took the photo on 14 Dec.2014 Kokkola, Finland.
Size 21mm.

Thanks.

Regards Pentti.

This is the larva of a caddisfly (Trichoptera) - family Limnephilidae. Normally it would be living inside a case.

if you can show me a photo op the head in dorsal view showing the black pigment pattern on the head/frontoclypeus I may give you a species name. In this view it may look like Anabolia nervosa, but not sure.

Pentti
perhaps a misunderstanding, but I need a photo of the head in frontal view now. If it is something like this, then Anabolia nervosa.

on second thought, no Anabolia, possibly Limnephilus spec.

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
