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. Ratatoskr attached the following image:  [61.09Kb] Belief is not an idea that the mind possesses but an idea that possesses the mind. |

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

Thank you. Could it be this Sphinx moth "Acherontia atropos"? Belief is not an idea that the mind possesses but an idea that possesses the mind. |
