Hello,
I found this larva of a on Picea abies tree. Is it possible to determine at least its family from these photo?

Thank you in advance,
Pentti

Most likely Mycetophilidae. With these type of larvae you often need to check the ventral side of the headcapsule to separate it from Sciaridae. But I think I can see a large gap there, absent in Sciaridae
