| | | Id request of Iggly Wigglies
Hello to one and all,
I would be appreciative of a nod in the direction of these iggly wigglies.
They were found huddled together over wintering amongst the leaf litter of an Oak in North London a couple of days ago.
Thanks for any feedback forthcoming 
Hoping there a little more exotic than leather jackets
thanx
pics to come
David

I've uploaded before, but I'm really struggling to see where to attach them from.
Any pointers would be useful
thanks

Evening Monkeyd,
Your images I do believe!   
They could be Cranefly larvae.
Click here to see the page one of your photos are on - Iggly Wigglies - Wild About Britain Pics, and then look for the 'Linked Thumbnail' code below it under additional info. Just double-click the code to highlight it and then paste it into your subsequent posts where you'd like it to appear.

Looks like they/it have/has a head capsule - likely not to be diptera

Sawfly then? That was my initial thought after Soldierfly, but was thrown by the way they seem to have been buried.
Anyone else? |

Is it possible that it's a larval stage of green tortrix.
Though I'm not sure if they hatch from eggs on the tree or not?
& I'm not reallty too hot on life cycles of moths.

Anyone else? | sawfly was my first thought too but I can't think of one that we'd find in that situation? |

They could be some sort of moth larva though.
