Not sure what to make out of it, but Diptera would be my first guess. Found under a rotting log, in central Germany, late March   tiny...

Hi Lorin, I think it is! And it looks very much like Phronia conformis: https://galerie-i...=conformis and of course here: https://diptera.i...pid=368637 (I've started with Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects Vol. 10, Part 14, FigsIndex - Fig 83) Greetings, Eric Edited by eklans on 03-04-2021 11:17 |

Great, thanks a lot Eric! I might leave it at genus level, as I doubt enough is known about how the different species differ in their larval stages.
