Unknown beetle larvae - Photuris
Washington County, Pennsylvania, USA
May 5, 2009
Size: 18 mm
This critter turned up in a sample of benthic macroinvertebrates I collected. I'm having some trouble with ID; I think it may be a terrestrial that fell in the stream.
Any thoughts?
I can provide photos with a greater degree of magnification if necessary, just let me know what part of the anatomy you'd like to see.
Thanks
