Hello,
I found this Dixa larvae in south of France. It is very similar to D. nebulosa (habitus, five bristlle crowns on tergits, terminal lobes and head color). Is it sufficient to deduce that it is indeed Dixa nebulosa ?
Thank you for the help.

hi Bruno, Ik agree with nebulosa, 3 ventral pads, 5 crowns and yellowish posterior paddles only fits with nebulosa
