Hello forum, yesterday (25.02.2008) I found the following larvae under a piece of wood in the artificial alder marshland in Hagen (NRW, D), 175 m above nn. Is there anybody who knows what it is? I think, it might be some larvae of the Coleoptera family Carabidae. I hope for a closer ID. Best wishes, Josef Josef Buecker attached the following image:  [98.93Kb] |

Those prongs at the front remind me of the larva of the giant lacewing Osmylus. It feeds on worms around the edges of water. John Bratton |
