hi dipteraforum,

Larvae in and on muddy dead leafes.

Are these diptera-larvae?

It can also be an annelid, Enchytraeidae. Try to spot setae to be sure.

I would agree - that spiral gut is usually a mark of Annelida, rather than Diptera (in my experience)Wink

Thank you pwalter and Tony,

I didn't expect this as an annelid, Enchytraeidae..
But I have very low experience with these..
They are very small and a few mm (~3-4mm)
I cannot see any setae?
Are these juvenile annelids? or adults?

I 've made a crop of one picture and I'll publice it right here
