sorry, but I disagree with Stratiomyidae. It is not even a Diptera, and my best guess is a Lepidoptera. |

And some Chrysomelidae larvae have bristles like these. Did you make a note of the size of the larva, and what species of plant it was on? Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

A starting point is number of proper legs, not including prolegs. Diptera larvae are always legless. Caterpillars and beetles normally have three pairs of legs. |
