Hi everyone, This is only my second thread on your nice forum, that time I need your expertise to identify an aquatic larvae that should be Chaoborus genus. From what I understood we need to observe the labral blade (that is not easy to observe!) but actually that doesn't help me a lot. I found these larva in a pond in France (Jura), January 19th 2014. Thanks a lot for your help and comments! "Click to enlarge"

the mandibular tooth and the labral blade lead to Ch. obscuripes. |

Submitted for the gallery, but as I'm not used to do it I think I didn't submit it into the right place (adult gallery instead of larva, sorry for that). |

I finally got pupae, not all survived but 2 females (I think) emerged recently. One of them gave eggs immediately after (what was surprising for me). Can we confirm definitively that it is C. obscuripes females?
