Hi all
The attached was found in a New Zealand stream sample, but I suspect it's a terrestrial larva - possibly a syrphid? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers
Stephen

trying another image - under 200kb, no capitols or spaces in the file name, max 600 pix wide, 72 dpi - why don't they attach?!

Hopefully attached is the image of the whole body - 3rd attempt. Magnification was 34X

On a roll now - 2 pictures successfully attached after 4 attempts - hopefully now attached is the head shot - at 99X.

Grateful for any ideas about taxon - family would be fine!
Thanks
Stephen

Yes, Syrphidae, subfam. Syrphinae.
