 hi larvae-forum,

Today I catched a larvae on my parsleyplants.
First I though of caterpillar, because of the typical green color and white stripe.
Looking better, it seems to be a syrphidae-larvae I think..

Does anyone know something about these specie?
I put the larvae back, these creatures eat the lice out of my parsley? isn't it?

Robert

The larvae went to it's next stadium, now it is a cocon.

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
