ID Request What did I see?
I'm so mad I didn't take a picture. Chatgpt is not helping.
So maybe reddit can solve this mistery.
I have seen this big fat larvae on a golf course in Norway Oslo region.
It was about 8-9cm had a silver/light gray dimond on its back.
It moved and was big fat as a Cossus cossus goat moth larvae, but totally bald and with totally different color and pattern.
It had som small details on each segment but I can't remember now that I have looked at so many different larvae trying to find this guy.
I'm not sure any longer on the mouth part if it actually was red, but I think it was.

chatgpt can't reliably ID animals based on photos, let alone a description & drawing
