Description

I have no idea... I THINK this one will be a beetle when it grows up, and I THINK it might be a Nicrophorus vespilloides (or "Vanlig Dödgrävare" in Swedish). It looked a bit weird and scary, so I had to lie down, on my stomach, in a middle of a well-used tracking-path to take a picture... I almost got ran over by a guy on a mountain-bike. This was taken in the spring/summer of 2009. If you know what the lovely little dear is, please tell me!

EDIT: Thank you :iconjymsfr: who was able to tell me that this is, in fact, an larva of Lampyris noctiluca, the Common Glow-worm! That's so cool, 'cause I had no idea we had those in Sweden! Thank you again!

This is a larva of Lampyris noctiluca, the Common Glow-worm.
I think it's "Stor lysmask" or "Vanlig lysmask" in Swedish, according to Wikipedia. :-)
