<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess both are Volucella inanis - larvae, the
second is just upside down. As Marin says they come from wasp nest above
somewhere. They are ready to pupate and walk around to find a nice pupating
place. During this action they probabely fell down. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello everybody,<BR><BR>Yesterday a friend of from the local
museum of natural history <A href="http://www.inatura.at"
target=_blank>www.inatura.at</A> asked me if I could help him identify a larva
which I think is a syrphid. The length of the larvae is 13mm (without
stigmata-"horn" which has another 1mm of length). The larvae have been found
inside houses in three cities/villages around here (Dornbirn, Feldkirch and
Egg, all in Vorarlberg/Western Austria) during the last week - some in a
guestroom which is not used very often, some in the corner of a room on the
floor with mice's feces around and some "falling from the ceiling" according
to the people who brought the larva to the inatura. <BR>Could anyone of you
help me identify the species or genus? I'd appreciate any kind of
information.<BR>Another thing: What were these maggots doing inside the nearly
empty rooms? (the people here have asked for this kind of
information).<BR><BR>Thanks in advance<BR>Günter Schwendinger<BR><BR>(Photos
