Dear collegues
I do not even know the order of this grub, maybe it is a beetle?
I found it in a humid forest on the lower surface of a foil of a plant, I think it was Lycopus europaeus.
On the back end it carries the covers of the last instars?
Germany, Lower Bavaria, 2016-07-03; 450m over sea level.
Thank you very much for your help!

Dear Rudolf,
It is Cassida viridis larva after ecdysis (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae - Subfamilia: Cassidinae ) On Lycopus europaeus, See the photos and the link.

Wafaa

Dear Wafaa,
thank you very much for your quick and valuable answer!

Here in "my" area I have seen only Cassida viridis yet - but of course I cannot be sure, thank you, Rinaldo!
Cassidinae Gen. sp. larva, as there are several genera of the Cassidinae in Europe
Long live the professionalism! Quickly answered. Think about what peaks reach humanity, if professionals will rule the world. Unfortunately, there is dominated by demagogues in the world.
