There are a number of genera of false wireworms in the Tenebrionidae. Unless there are identifiable adults present with their larvae it is difficult to be sure of their identity

Hi John. Thanks for your photos. I have downloaded the original photo no. 3, doctored it, and added it back, so it can to be used on the Species page.

FYI, our system doesn't show the originals but edits them to a lower resolution. This is for the purpose of efficiency. In the process photos that are a non-standard shape (4x3) can be truncated on the longer ends. This is something to keep in mind when cropping you photos.

I was wondering about that Michael. They were cropped long to try and load up the best resolution, how do you add blank space to a photo?

What I did was use cut and paste, the original no. 3 onto the visible no. 3. If you look carefully you can see this.
