Larva in log  - Zenoa picea

Larva in log - Zenoa picea
Newark, Delaware, USA

Zenoa picea (Beauvois)
Yes, I concur with Warren: it's definitely Zenoa picea. From the looks of the substrate (if that was where it was collected) it looks like the same microhabitat wherein I've collected it in southern Illinois, Texas, and Mississippi.

 
Yes
A rotten log in the flood basin of a creek. Thank you for your expertise!

 
terrific. thanks again, Dan.

Moved tentatively
Moved from ID Request.

guessing, teneb of sorts

 
Warren Steiner says: "Does look teneb-ish,
"...very similar to Meracantha at first, but the stopperbutt is not concave, but operculate and convex...so check out Zenoa picea (Callirhipidae)."

great find!
