Hello Forum,
I saw this dipteran larva yesterday, march 13th 2011, in Hagen, NRW, Germany, it was within the rotten material of a birch trunk lying on the ground of an extended wood mainly with beech and oak trees. Is a closer ID possible?
Best regards, Josef

Cyclorrhapha. Nice, smooth, satisfied,nothing remarkable - no projections. The only larva which I may suppose - predatory Phaonia sp. (Muscidae) Frown
