Any clues on what species this larvae might be would be appreciated. From midwest Sweden 2006-07-14. It was rather agile and small, not more than 5 mm I think. It was found on Alnus sp.

I'd say a chrysomelid beetle. With Alnus as host plant I am sure someone will come up with a possible species.

Thank you Paul. It's hard to find images of these larvae. I found one resembling my species, but there might be other similar ones - Agelastica alni - where I guess alni stand for Alnus. I'll check it with my coleoptera connections ...
