Hi,

I'm sure someone can tell me sth. about these two larvae - for the most part they look the same, I found them with a distance of 1 m from each other. What is to say about them?

Thank you very much.

Both Anopheles spec. (Culicidae). ID to species level needs examination of the eggs or barcoding.Shock

Oh dear, that's heavy. But it's great to know it's Anopheles - that's much more than "midge" Wink Smile
Thank you again!
