Hello,

I found this larva today where there was a Dryomyzidae egg yesterday on rotting fungi, look here.

No more Dryomizidae egg! The larva was 6-7mm long, it went down a hole where the egg had been. Surely the egg could not have hatched and grown that quickly? Maybe the larva ate the egg. :o

Does anyone recognise it?
