Sign In to followIt's a wireworm which is the larva of a click beetle
Looks like it might be in the genus Zelotes...
Thanks for the ID Tom15
Thanks! The bright color of this beetle just absolutely blew me away. I almost wanted to take it home with me and keep as if it were a gemstone but I know its better off in the woods.
I agree it's a horsetail but I can't figure out which species... oh well I'll spend more time on it when I get back from the Smokies on Saturday
