Larvae.
Hello,
Whilst examining some bryophyte samples I came across what I thought was some kind of arthropod. I was duly corrected by Jason Green on Wild About Britain, it seems this is a larvae of possibly the Fanniidae species group.
Is anyone able to advise on this please?
Regards,
Andrew.

Re: Larvae.
Also looks like some Fannia species. (Fairly sure that Callomyia has not got such an obvious front end.)

Re: Larvae.
Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately this specimen had dried up with the moss so I will not be able to rear this conclusively.
Regards,
Andrew.
