Hi,

These photos were shared on a facebook group about portuguese Diptera. I have no idea what this is, so I asked the photographer for permission to share the photos here. This specimen appeared in a box where a cricket nymph was being reared. The cricket was dead, but without an apparent exit hole. I'm not sure if it is a dipteran larva, those leg-like appendages don't seem right. What do you think it could be?

I was told it measures about 1.5 cm.

Better check out larvae of Ripiphoridae (Coleoptera), then.

Thank you Paul! It looks a good bet! With luck we will get an adult so we can be sure. Smile

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
