Hi everyone,

This is only my second thread on your nice forum, that time I need your expertise to identify an aquatic larvae that should be Chaoborus genus. From what I understood we need to observe the labral blade (that is not easy to observe!) but actually that doesn't help me a lot.

I found these larva in a pond in France (Jura), January 19th 2014.

Thanks a lot for your help and comments!
