 Hi everyone!
I'm studying aquatic larvae in bromeliads for my master thesis but since I just started to deal with these little guys I'm having quite a hard time identifying them, so I'll really thankful I you cold help with some of them.

 May I suggest to post photo's of them on this forum or try using Smith (1989) for family/tribe/genus level. ID to Species level is only possible when you breed them to the adult stages.
