J. Garc?a has sent this to me, and i have no idea. He has foundt them on a tree. I?m not sure if that larva is the same species of the fly ??
thanks in advance

the adult fly is probably a Calyptratae, possibly a Tachinidae or Rhinophoridae.
Without wing venation, I can't tell you.
With the specimens in hand, I most likely could be more certain

thanks; really difficult with this photo, the larva doesn?t seem diptera to me, but i have no references in immature stages, so i?m not sure, thanks again

Nigella,
Yes the larva is a beetle, not sure what type though. I am sure that it is not a fly larva.

Yes, there appear to be a head capsule and several pairs of legs on the left side of the larva. That make a Coleoptera larva very likely.
