County Recorder, Del Smith, confirmed this was a Soldier Fly larva, saying: 'There are a few British soldier flies found under bark, but I wouldn't care to pontificate on yours. If you collect one post it up to me and I'll attempt to rear it.' Unfortunately, when I revisited the site they had disappeared.
