What is this?

Post by David M »

Sent to me via email in the presumption that it might be butterfly/moth related.

I don't think so, as it was found in a household toilet!!

I have no clue as to what it might be, so if anyone has any suggestions I will read with interest.

Thanks.

It's a drone fly larva. See: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=dr ... C4&first=1

Hmm! Not all that different from some objects I have seen in a toilet.

Oh shoot!

Indeed, Jack. Looks like a floater without any shadow of doubt. :lol:
