twice in one day Morten! looks like Lonchaeidae. can you provide an end on photo of the posterior breathing spiracles - it may be possible to ID further

Thanks a lot!
I also thought it could be from the L. family. (I'm not sure what's the front and back of a fly pupa, so I'm attaching a picture from both sides Frown). unfortunately my camera is not good enough for such small details. Pictures from fly pupa 1.

Thanks Morten - its the blunt end that is posterior, unfortunately there is not enough detail to get to species level - you will just have to await until they emerge. The main suspect at that size and in that tree species is Lonchaea hackmaniSmile
