BeetlesHi,
Firstly let me congratulate you on a wonderful website. Within minutes of arriving I was able to identify that one the two strange bugs I found was a ‘House Centipede’. The other I’m having more problems with. I found the insect in the shower on a recent holiday to Greece. I think it may be some sort of beetle larva but would love to know which one. It reminds me of the ladybird larva but was considerably bigger at 1.5 to 2 inches in length. Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
James Stratton.

Hi James,
It is definitely a beetle larva. It looks like one of the Lampyridae or Firefly larvae. They are predatory.
