Evening Toby,
Interesting-looking. How big was it? I have a funny feeling it's a Syrphid, but have no idea which.
Take care, Jason  |

Looks coleopteran to me possibly one of the Dermestidae.
Not aware of any Syrphids with projections like these. |

Polyxenus lagurus, the Bristly Millipede (I think)

Very interesting indeed, yet to find one of these looks spot on. |
