Hello,
I think this is a Keroplatidae larva.
Is it possible to say more?
Data:
13.5.2011 in our garden (under a piece of wood in a mushroom), Furth im Wald, Bavarian Forest, Germany.

Regards
Ingrid

Yes, a Keroplatidae. And most probably it is luminescent. I experienced luminescence of this sp. or very similar larva.
