Right, saw this beside a canal in scotland.
there are 5 people all arguing over what it is - I have very little knowledge of these things, but think it could be a centipede of types.
Someone else thinks its a purple Beatle larvae, another thinks its a dragonfly nymph.
Can someone please clarify !
Looks like a larva of a rove beetle, such as the devil's coach horse - http://www.ispot.org.uk/node/324792
