Thank you, Tony! I hoped it could be parasitic/phoretic insect larva or nematode and even found some evidence of associations between beetles and flies/nematodes (https://www.mdpi..../4/184/htm figures 18,30,31), although nematodes are whitish usually. So I think there is theoretical possibility of this type of interaction, though. Maybe, poorly known interaction:)
