Fishfly larva - Chauliodes

Fishfly larva - Chauliodes
Robert Frost Trail, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
April 30, 2006
Size: ~3.5 cm
Found in a rotten log near the stream, photographed in a container of water, and released. Like Tom's image this larva was quite active, hardly remaining still. Unfortunately I did not get a clear shot of the abdomen to see if it had the 2 respiratory filiments that would place it as C. pectinicornis...
