Hi,
Got this friend in Spain asking me what this is. I don't know myself so I'm asking you guys. I'm guessing a beetle larvae, but it's just a guess.
Know what species it is?
photographed in southern Spain today.

Hello Ratatoskr,
The habitus matches more that of the Lepidoptera family Sphingidae.

Thank you.
Could it be this Sphinx moth "Acherontia atropos"?
