This Limoniidae larva was collected in soil in Moscow. Looks more like aquatic than terrestrial. 5 lobes with hairs, the darkened parts of all lobes with net-like picture and without light lines or spots. Spiracles round.

typical Rhypholophus spec. In the larval stage, this genus has a wide range of habitats but not too dry. R. haemorrhoidalis is known from the sand and silt from streams, limestone marshes, in the mud of (forest)marshes and lakes, but also in leafmould in marshy coniferous forest and willowmarshes, under grasses and leaves in a more open landscape (also true for R.varius). R. varius lives in these open landscapes under mosses (possibly bryobionthic). Edited by atylotus on 01-02-2010 12:53 |
