I think it is an Elateridae larva |

Uh, that's interesting! Thanks for your answer. I've found some elaterid larvae sometimes, but they were always yellow / orange without those appendices - but why not, and after all I don't have any better idea  |

No, sorry, I made a terrible mistake; the color has misled me. No Elateridae. It is closer to a Limoniidae or the Pediciidae genus Ula for I see at least 3 blackish anal lobes. Did you collected it? Some details of the anal lobes are missing to be sure. Or do you have some more photo's? The color is a bit strange, was it alive?

Doesn't matter - so this stays interesting . I just had to read about Pediciidae - I've never met them. Unfortunately I don't have any more detailed pictures. I found a second specimen, same place & same time, just 2 mm longer, but you can see even less here, only the head is visible a bit better. Who knows, maybe this helps... Seems to be very similar. They both were alive. Lennart Bendixen attached the following image:  [198.71Kb] |

Someone moved this thread to "other insects..." - so it's no dipteran larva again? |

It was moved before atylotus corrected himself. Back into Diptera larvae now.
