Not sure what to make out of it, but Diptera would be my first guess. Found under a rotting log, in central Germany, late March

Hi Lorin, I think it is! And it looks very much like Phronia conformis:

and of course here:

(I've started with Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects
Vol. 10, Part 14, FigsIndex - Fig 83)

Greetings, Eric

I might leave it at genus level, as I doubt enough is known about how the different species differ in their larval stages.

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
