Field Notes

Description:

It is very quick and can reverse walking. Has only 3 pairs of legs after the head and measure about 5cm long. It has "something" like a spike in the final of the body. No idea witch kind of insect it is or will be. It´s not clear if it has any structures like eyes.

Thanks Latimeria fro the ID! I think you are right. I remember to have seen this beetle here sometime ago.

I'm thinking that it's a larva of a click beetle, family Elateridae.
