Under bark of a eucalyptus, I'm guessing some sort of beetle larva.

Possibly Porismus strigatus, whose striking adults are common on eucalypt trunks in autumn. But it could also be one of the several other osmylid genera recorded locally.

Adult Porismus strigatus were found in the vicinity of this location last year.
