 Hello,

I photographed this larva in a plant saucer in Bazzano (AQ), Italy, on February 3rd 2020. Is it possible to identify at least the family from just these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

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
