Hi there, I'm French and passionate of microscopy so you'll not see me often on the forum ! But we (microscopists) meet small insects and (insect's pieces). I found this egg in water running from a small peat bog (671 yards high, in hilly country, middle of France) . It hatched 2 days after ( I maintained the preparation in a humid box). I think that it's a diptera egg and larva. Have somebody any idea of the ID, I know that it 'll be difficult. Thanks in advance. Philippe Dauges attached the following image:  [154.57Kb] |

From what I can make out, this is a chironomid larva.
