Hello, I photographed this larva under a polypore attached to a poplar tree. It measures more than 10 mm, and after doing some research, I am unsure whether it belongs to the Mycetophilidae or Keroplatidae family. Its head leads me to believe it is a Mycetophilidae, but is that enough to be certain?
