Cecidmomyiidae larva with fungi
Mont Écho, Sutton, Montérégie County, Quebec, Canada
August 5, 2011
Size: 2.3 mm
A Cecidomyiidae larva found in forest litter infested by fungi (all dark-brown radiating structures are hyphae). I've notice this fungi on several larvae of this morphospecies, but not on other morphospecies.
