Was being dragged around by a bug (see separate sighting) not much bigger than it, not sure if same species, or if this is a predator-prey situation??

I think it's a beetle larva, having been pierced by a true bug for food Christine. It could be Dicranosterna immaculata but the shadows in the photo make it hard for me to be certain.

Thanks Bron, sorry such bad images. Perhaps the pics in sighting 4364275 might help??
