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>

[Syrphidae] Maggot ID</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>
