Hello,
I found this 2-3 cm long larva? below a stone. Can somebody identify it?

it is a Diptera larva of the genus Rhagio, family Rhagionidae. Typical head capsule is clearly visible, as well as the anal lobes. Very nice picture ! It may well be suitable for the gallery.

Thank you very much for ID. I was not sure whether it belongs to diptera.
I submitted the picture for gallery.
