Could anyone help me with an ID on these larvae? Family would be OK, generic or specific level great.
They were sampled on hard substrate in the port of Zeebrugge, Belgium.
Accompanying species were Chironomid larvae, Oysters, amphipods, Fucus, Mytilus, Halacaridae and others.
size; ~10 mm or slightly less.
