Beetleswhat is this creature?
Hello,
I live in San Jose, Ca. I live between open space and County parks in the mountains. I took this picture of a ????? Some type of myriapod, or larvae??? Can you help me identify it? I have only seen this one, and it appeared to be trying to eat a dead Millipedede. I had a hard “shell” and two legs together. Thank you,
Aaron
Hi Aaron,
This beauty is a Glowworm Larva in the family Phengodidae. Interestingly, there is an image on BugGuide of a Glowworm eating a Millipede.
