Hy,
I have to show you a larva that I suspect that it is a Syrphidae larva.
The photos were taken in 24.10.2006, Romania, Retezat Mountains, almost 600m.
My question: is it a syrphidae larva? Can you tell me what specie is?
Thanks.

Hello,

Syrphid larva without doubt, with both breathing tubes at the posterior end. In the Rotheray, Scaeva pyrastri could be a good candidate.

This larva seems to be Epistrophe grossulariae - by G. Rotheray. At least the Epistrophe is for sure.

Best wishes and many thanks to Graham,
Amalia
