Found on may 2008 Hilversum (Neth.)
On cowdung (by Alie van Erkelens...my sister ;))

We see here a Sepsidae laying an egg, but on the bachground we see several "larvae"..coming out of the cowdung?
Could this be the larvae of the Sepsidae in a later stadium?
And could we say more about the Sepsidae..?

It isn't larvae, but eggs with breathing filament. Eggs have to breath being inside dung!
