Can anyone help identify the aquatic larva in the attached photographs? We found it in a pond as part of a mini-bioblitz at Queen's Road Allotments in Leicester. It's movement appeared very odd, as the legs seem set a long way back. I thought it must be a snakefly larva, but they are terrestrial. It doesn't look like an alderfly larva. I have tried searching using terms like megaloptera and raphidioptera without finding anything like it.The tadpole and mayfly larva in the photographs give scale. It was probably 2.5cm-3cm long.

I can't help, but have seen the same thing in my pond.
