Hello, You can often find this 2-mm-long devourer of spores and mycelia on different kinds of rust (Puccinia) or mildew. Is this a kind of diptera larva? If so, which?  Kind regards, Heiko |

Here is its head region. Would diptera be a sensible starting point? Collection data: Germany, Southern Thuringia, August 2016  |
