Kom over denne fyren mens han var ute i felten her om dagen, Hva foregår her? Poeng tildelt for orden/familie/slekt – men selv eksperter i denne gruppen kan ikke finne ut arten helt ennå.
(alle i felten med meg bør holde kommentarene sine til gjetningene kommer inn!)
Snail-slurping Pyractomena sp. (or something of that ilk)?
Wait, is that even a snail? Erm, might have jumped the gun there.
I don’t think this is a lampyrid or other lampyroid larva, which typically have the abdominal segments laterall flanged. The terminal segment doesn’t look right either. I would have said a scavenging ground or staphylinid beetle larva, or even a carrion beetle larva, but the apparent lack of caudal appendages seem to rule those out also. I even started thinking it might be a scavenging terrestrial isopod, but even they usually have caudal appendages. This is my long-winded way of saying I’m stumped.
