Beetle Larva

5683   Found this bug walking very quickly through the shade of our driveway (Nova Scotia), it stayed out of the light, and looks similar to firefly larvae, but it has two little prongs on the back, kind of like an earwig, and didn’t use it’s tail to move, just it’s 6 little legs. it was a bit over an inch long.

This is a beetle larva, but definitely not that of a firefly or any other closely related family. I will try to come up with a more specific identification when I have time to do a bit of research. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
