Hey
following the thread about Ptychoptera contaminata
here is another Ptychoptera larva
30 mm length with siphon extruded
These larvae are not well preserved in formaline since 10 years

not sure, but it doesn't look like albimana. Like to have a better picture of the submentum (the part just behind the menum teeth).

Hey and thank you

I thought that the 10teeth of the mentum was a good feature

the best pictures I have just now are these
I have to check the sample to make obvious photo
