What kind of larva?
This shouldn't be in Mordellistena. Any idea what kind of larva it is?

 
No clue.
I don't even know order.
At the time I posted this I hadn't much experience with BugGuide and since then I've just never moved moved it (then linking it to the Mordellistena). Do we have an unknown parasitoid category?

 
How about
"Unsolved bug-related mysteries"?

Good idea
I may have to add one or two of my images to that category.
