And the head.

Oh, no, not Stegana. Stegana had 'bent' wings, in this species it is only the abdomen that is bent downwards. It is Discomyza incurva, of which you can find a picture of the larvae and some background information here: http://www.dipter...hoto_id=78.

Thanks a lot Paul,
So Ephydridae, snail feeders - who would only guess? Wink... Now I can see that the head is also quite different from Stegana.
