Hello,
Some larvae and pupae found in a lake. I think about a Cranefly family Hesperinidae...
Thanks for your contribution.

To me these are typical Sciaridae larvae and pupa. Presumably they are accidental inhabitants of the lake, as the family is entirely terrestrial (as far as I know).

Oh! ok. ... I found that some of its can live in tussocks in lake's shore... it's fit with our sample (juncus zone) - in Darold Batzer & Dani Boix.

Thanks a lot Tony TumbsUp
