Odontotaenius disjunctus
Black head with clear body and black insides. Was about a half inch long.
Dead wood log.
This larva was found with an adult Patent-leather beetle I for the previous posting. Was in an area of the log that had a lot of chewed up wood.

Unfortunately, I would only be guessing. I could guess several. But all of them are much smaller than a Patent Leather Beetle/Bess Beetle.
Patent Leather Beetles are cool. The larva and adults can make sounds, too.
Do you know which beetle species so I can correct it?
That's not a Patent Leather Beetle larva. Larva for some other beetle species.
