This larva was found on a wet beach on the North Sea coast of the isle of Ameland, The Netherlands on July 12, 2011. At first we thought of the famous beachfly Fucellia maritima, but the anterior spiracles does have more lobes and the mouthparts are also different compared to F. maritima as depicted in Smith (1989, p228, fig.858-862).
Does anybody has another suggestion?
