They grow up so quickly... Smile I hope this is the pupa, not just the dead larva:

If it's a puparium, it is Cecidomyiidae, isn't it?

I think I remember seeing such pupae before, which I reared and they turned out to beLauxaniidae.

It is definitely not a Cecidomyidae, for it has a well developed head-skeleton.

Very likely Lauxaniidae
