Hi,

I have photographed these larvae today 20km West of Paris in a deciduous forest.
Scale : width of picture about 9mm.
Any idea of the genus/family of these maggots?
Thanks for help!

not sure, but I get a Cecidomyiidae feeling with these ones. Something like Rhizomyia sp. See attached figure from Mamaev & Krivosheina 1965
