Thread subject: Diptera.info :: pupa from Sweden

Is it possible to identify this pupa to a family or even anything? What emerged from it was a little Ichneumonidae wasp. So to get anywhere with the wasp I need to know about its host. Found in Sweden in a sort of swampy forrest at the end of february. Thanks in advance / Monika

Could that be Lepidoptera?

"Little Ichneumonidae" emerging from Diptera may be Braconidae.

Do Lepidoptera have those "horns"?

Finally found out that it is Sciaroidea! Perhaps sciaridae.
