Hello,

These two larvae were found in compost near Paris (France), and bread until adults on rotten apple. As there's not so much lauxaniidae larvae / pupae on the web, I post them here.

I had the pupae in early january :

The first indivudual emerged the 02 february. These views were taken a few minutes after the emergence, and these 24 hours later.

The second individual emerged a few days later.

My questions are :
. is this individual male or female ?
. is it possible to tell the species ? (other views on demand).

Thanks a lot !...
