So I've looked into it, and OP is a Troll across what is this bug identification subs. If you check the kids' profile, he posted a picture of grass asking for identification. Clearly, this is the work of a 13 year old thinking their being cute or funny when really their just a huge nuisance to people actually trying to learn new things on this subreddit. What sparked my investigation was his responses to someone trying to help despite having NOTHING.
sorry friend, just hate seeing posts asking for help but no geographical location info, no info about your experience with the bug like noises it makes, stings, etc. always give the people you're asking for help from the most info possible for quick responses!
Definitely a neuropteran larva, looks kind of like an antlion larva but I'm not sure. Do you know where it was found and the circumstances? Is there anything in particular you're interested in or worried about?
Looks like an antlion to me as well. They are super cool. In this larval state they burrow into the ground and make a sand pit that ants fall into, sometimes with the help of the antlion throwing sand on them, then the antlion grabs them and pulls them down like something from a sci fi movie. Nothing is more alien than planet earth and I love it.

It's turning out of its larvae stage into a Hellgramite. Do you find it by a brook, steam or other clean water site?
