Thanks a lot martinl for the great information otherwise we would have believed in some myths with injica :D
This is larvae of one of the dermestid beetles they are called skin beetles and include carpet beetles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermestidae https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dermestidae_ssp.JPGhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dermestidae_ssp.JPG https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dermestid_Beetles_Cleaning_a_Skull.jpg
omg...cool :) I have heard about that 2 days ago when my friend said that once she killed a fly that was somehow weird and disorientated and something like this (by description) came out and she wondered it that happens when the fly doesn't find the place where to put its eggs... well to me it sounds strange and unlikely..but who knows
I just had dinner.... My mistake :/
