Location: Near Stockholm, Sweden Date: 2007-OCT-13 Habitat: Park (Cemetary) with coniferous tree, near "water container" Size: I'm guessing it was ~5 mm I think this is a pupa (or maybe even a larva). I guess it could be a diptera, but as I don't know I put it here. The two "knobs" in the back reminds me of what was on the Syrphidae larvae. Edited by crex on 19-11-2007 12:12 |

Thank you Tony! I also checked with Graham Rotheray: "Yes it is a Dasysyrphus larva, possibly venustus complex. If it had been a puparium, it would have been short, rounded and pear-shaped. Dasysyrphus larvae are usually associated with aphids on trees rather than aphids on ground level herbaceous plants." I wonder which species is in the Dasysyrphus venustus complex? |

Hello, crex wrote:I wonder which species is in the Dasysyrphus venustus complex? In M.P. van Veen, I read : D. venustus and D. hilaris may be found to hide a species complex in the future.
