Rhantus suturalis
young larva

A side view of a 2nd instar larva of Rhantus suturalis. A brown spot is noticeable, right after the neck shield. Is this a bite wound, caused by a hungry sister or brother?
Further details: a row of spines along the head, the typical "gap"in the circle of eye spots and, below left: bell animalcules
