Misterio dos luns

 

Atopei con este tipo mentres estaba no campo o outro día, que está pasando aquí? Puntos outorgados por Orde/Familia/Xénero – pero mesmo os expertos deste grupo aínda non poden descubrir a especie.

 

(todos os que están no campo comigo deberían manter os seus comentarios ata que entren as suposicións!)

  • Snail-slurping Pyractomena sp. (or something of that ilk)?

  • 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.
