Maybe one common species of Drosophila?

Dipterofauna of Japan is very interesting in another way..

i dunno, maybe or maybe not.

considering the vast diversity of flies, i could not have a slightest clue without seeing adult specimens.

if u r an expert of diptera, can u tell me what is the pair of protrusions (like antennae) found in the head of pupae?

breathing tubes or what?

[Biodiversidadd]

I´m not expert in this order but i am doing some jobs with that.

The protusions that u speak that it seems like "little hands", are respiratory anterior spiracles. See you my friend. :)

[sigma1920]

appreciate ur quick answer.

i found the star-shaped tip of the spiracles pretty cool! :)

i like them better when they are still young maggots because when they are full grown fruit flies they get quite annoying.

[sigma1920]

apart from size, are they so different between the young and the grown?
