Some Syrphinae Larvae of North America

Hopefully a collection of confirmed larva of Syrphinae (Bacchini, Syrphini, and Toxomerus; most of which consume aphids and similar plant pests as larva). The only official resource I know of is this old publication (Heiss 1938): https://archive.org/details/classificationof16heis/page/n11
There is also this BugGuide page: https://bugguide.net/node/view/95040

If you have found a hover fly larva and are interested in contributing to our knowledge of them, please consider raising it to discover what the adult turns out to be. Some advice here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/417958
There is also a facebook group here that you might be able to ask for help in: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1580298322233838/
Finally here is a guide to larva in the UK, which should have some overlap with here (Syrphinae images start on page 130): https://diptera.info/downloads/df_1_9_Colour_Guide_to%20Hoverfly_Larvae.pdf

Please let me know if you find photos of any other species!
