Hello to all,

I'm new to this forum, but I have a question I've asked the Birdforum members.
Does anyone know what diptera this larva belongs to? They told me it's no of a sawfly. It was filmed in the Camargue (france) in september on a hot day on a dry road, so it's possible that the color derives from the fact that it's covered with dust. I don't know.

Anyone want to give it a shot?

Thanks in advance,

Andr? Jas

Hoi Andre,
To my opinion this is a larva from a member of the Stratiomyidae, these are the so called soldierflies.
I must say that I am not 100 percent sure, but there are members of the genus Stratiomys who have larva that look like this.
I can't tell you what species it is, maybe somebody else has an idea!
Greetings,

Hi.

I'll second Gerard's opinion: it is a Stratiomyid larva. Larvae of this type are usually aquatic, but can survive long times (perhaps even a year) in drier conditions, and leave water for pupation.

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
