hi larvae-forum, Today I catched a larvae on my parsleyplants. First I though of caterpillar, because of the typical green color and white stripe. Looking better, it seems to be a syrphidae-larvae I think.. Does anyone know something about these specie? I put the larvae back, these creatures eat the lice out of my parsley? isn't it?

hi Jorg, You don't see this ''tube'' at this larvae? The larvae went to it's next stadium, now it is a cocon. Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 11-09-2007 21:05 |
