ENT 532 Fall 2024: Wood Feeding Larva and Frass

At evening time, in the woods behind Raven's Roost, I rolled over a log and noticed a pile of woody frass pellets underneath, cylindrical and resembling lepidopteran frass. I dug around in the rotten wood & eventually found a large larva, ~1.5 inches long with a translucent body and black spots. It was clearly eating the rotting wood. I wonder was sort of gut microbiome adaptations allow it to digest the wood? Identified larva as Scolecocampa liburna Geyer 1837. Specimen vouchered in the Frost Museum as PSUC_ENT532_2024_0093
