These larvae were in a thin film of water on a vertical rock face near tree line (1400m) on the slope of Mount Washington, New Hampshire, USA on June 8, 2011. Size is 5-6 mm.

I assumed they were diptera but did not find any family they might be. I hope I'll find them again next year and get better pictures.
