User's notes
When this tiny blob (about 5 mm) moved unexpectedly in the leaf litter, I collected it and photographed it later as it fed on dead leaves from the site. The larva retreated inside at the slightest disturbance so it had to be photographed through the lid. First three photos 21 Oct, last two 24 Oct.
