Hi,

can someone identify this larva or at least its family?

Length about 3 mm.

2015-03-28, Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Mohrkirch, in a woodpile near a hedgerow.

Thank you!

Lennart

I think this would be a Cecidomyidae, not entirely sure though.

That's interesting - I didn't know there are species of Cecidomyidae which don't live in galls, but now I read about that. Thanks for your answer!
