This is the larvae of the Stratiomyidae Oplodontha viridula, recognizable at the somewhat angular bodysegments and the relatively short anal segment. At some point in the video you can also notice a pair of white hairbrushes at both ventral sides of the headcapsule (second 20-21, 41-45).....this is also typical.

Thank you very much! I did not expect to get the species level and such a nice explanation of the character attributes. Greetings, Ingo
