Hi, is there any chance to get to know the family of this pupa without raising it (if it is a dipteran at all...)? Many thanks in advance! Lennart 2015-03-20, Germany, S-H, Mohrkirch, found while digging under an alder, a few cm underground. Length 16 mm. Lennart Bendixen attached the following image:  [163.19Kb] |

My impression is hymenopteran, but try to rear it.

This appears to be a pupa of Bibionidae. The superposed leg sheaths and short antennae are pretty distinctive in combination with the Nematoceran tucked head. |
