Hello guys!
Shoots were taken 10th of November. Sorry for bad general photo.
This is for sure Scarabaeidae. On the Polish forum there's a topic about Cetonia vs. Protaetia. Author of this topic said there that Protaetia cuprea metallica are often close to anthill of Formica rufa. I digged this larvae close to yellow ants (sorry, I'm not a specialist, I don't know what species). Also he said that Cetonia have a white spot on the head (photo below). I haven't noticed this on my larvae.
