Tue, May 12, 2009 at 3:28 PM
I found this bug in a hole in a tree filled with water. Any ideas?

Hi Natalie,
This is a Rattailed Maggot, the larva of a Drone Fly, possibly Eristalis tenax.  There are a few photos of Rattailed Maggots on BugGuide.

Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 3:36 PM
These were found in an old acorn mortar in the Santa Monica Mountains near Los Angeles in February. They don&#8217;t move when touched.

Hi Richard,
These look like Leatherjackets or Leatherbacks, the larval form of the Crane Fly, a group of flies in the family Tipulidae.
