maybe also a Scorpion Wasp in some late juvenile state?

I would not think of a stonefly due to the different anatomic structures. As I remember stoneflies have some kind of "tail". I just checked for some Blattwespen, but didn't find any match. I would once give-up with stoneflies and try other insect larvae, maybe in some wasp families??

It looks a bit like a Stonefly larva of perlesta decipiens, except the black back and wings...hm. This one riddles me for ages now...
