Hi,

is this a pupa of Bradysia spec., Sciaridae?
It was found in peat substrate in a production farm for ornamentals. Sciaridae are quite common in this habitat, but comparibly few adults and larvae were observed in this case.

Thanks for verification!

No, this is a beetle pupa - possibly Atheta (Staphylinidae) - occasionally used for biological control of Sciaridae. Perhaps it's working!

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
