Howdy,

Today I found various groups of these (or very similar) groups of larvae and pupae under bark of dead trees. At least one Pine, but I suspect also some decidious trees. Length of larvae around 8mm, pupae maybe 4-5.

Best I can find in similarity is in the Bibiomorpha and the shape of the pupae seems to fit that also, but I can't find any exact matches, except for this image by Stanislav Krejcik, where he also takes a (wild?) swing at Bibionidae.

It must be something very, VERY common, so I'm probably just looking in the wrong places ....

Any pointers very welcome!

Thanks in advance,
Arp
