Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Larvae under bark

Hello!

Last week (13.03.06) I found a lot of small beetles (Nitidulidae, Staphylinidae, Silvanidae, Pselaphidae) and their larvae under the bark of beeches which were cut down last spring (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Among these were some white, 10 mm long larvae, which I assume belonging to some Diptera. Is it possible to tell what family they belong to? Thanks in advance!
