Hello, I have collected it in France, 30 km from inner Paris, early march 2020, in aquatic vegetation growing in a little stream coming from a kind of pound. At this stage, it was 550 µm long, so very small. I observed it under a microscope. On a famous social network, a microscope group, one told me "Drain fly larva". So could it be a Psychodidae's larva ? Thanks !  |

Unfortunately, I lost it ... Could those views allow to go further in identification ? Looking at the short size, could it be a larva of first instar ? Thanks ! Edited by pat_der2003 on 04-04-2020 05:07 |

This is a very young stage of a Psychodidae. Unfortunately it is impossible to ID it any further....larvae are notoriously difficult. It looks a bit like Pericoma or Satcheliella, but again, very difficult |
