Hello forum,
yesterday (25.02.2008) I found the following larvae under a piece of wood in the artificial alder marshland in Hagen (NRW, D), 175 m above nn.
Is there anybody who knows what it is? I think, it might be some larvae of the
Coleoptera family
Carabidae.
I hope for a closer ID.
Best wishes,
Josef

Those prongs at the front remind me of the larva of the giant lacewing Osmylus. It feeds on worms around the edges of water.

Hello John,
I think, you are right. With the correcht information it is easy to find pictures in the internet that are highly comparable.
Thank you,
Josef
