Hello everybody,
Can anyone help me to identify this tiny species? :| It was in a brown mushroom on a tree!
I reared larva and got adult.

Most likely M. oblonga (Fabricius, 1775). How did you manage to keep it alive?

Thank you very much guys for your help.
I kept it in 25 degrees C for more than 4 months to obtain adult. I think it feeds on that mushroom.

Possibly it fed on some other inhabitants of that mushroom...

Thank you for your reply. Some eriphyid mites were also inside the mushroom. Is it possible that larva was a predator of mites?
