Hello
Can somebody tell me the Id of this larva (15 mm) find with many other larva (50) in an old stump of a tree, very wet ?
Perhaps a Tipulidae larva ?
Than you

Bonjour Louis,
with such a sclerotised head, I would say Coleoptera, but maybe Lepidoptera is also possible,.

Bibionidae - the spiky processes (and slightly thicker lateral processes) and well-sclerotised head are typical.
