Hi,

is it possible to determine this pupa at least till family level (or even further)? This would be great.

Many thanks in advance,

Lennart

Length 2 mm, 2015-03-28, Northern Germany, S-H, Mohrkirch, garden, found in a woodpile

Normally I would say this is an agromyzid puparium.

Well, it wasn't far away (about 1 m) from a hedge with Rubus and Corylus, so is not impossible, I think. Thank you!
