Don't know where to begin with this one.
Sheffield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, USA
October 12, 2014
Found in Race Brook along the trail going up to the top of Mt Everett. Found under a rock. it's head retracted into its body and out as it tried to grasp with it's mandibles. It had little nubs for what appeared to be footings and it's tail had a snake tongue split in it with two black dots above it. I'm sure it's a larva but I don't know where to begin to id it.

Pediciidae
A fly larva of the familly Pediciidae. Based on the shape of the prolegs, it is most likely the genus Pedicia. It is the first picture of a larva of this genus on the guide, so a good addition.
