Beetlesidentify?
Can you identify this insect? The head is retractable and there is an appendage at the back end that is used like a foot to help scoot or propel the insect. Thanks for any insight.

Hi Gean,
We wrote to Eric Eaton to see if he could give us anything other than what we suspected, that this is a Firefly Larva. Here is his reply: ” The larva is definitely a firefly, perhaps a species of Pyractomena. Don’t know for certain beyond family, though.”
