Hello

I found this larva in the ground, at home in the Hérault (France). I'm not sure if it's a Diptera larva, and I do not know what kind of family it may be.

Thank you for your help.

Few Diptera have so many apparent segments ("secondary segmentation") of the abdomen. If you see a Diptera with about 20 apparent body segments instead of the usual 12 or so, first consider Psychodidae, Therevidae, and Scenopinidae.
