p.1 #1 · May Bug larva

I think this is the common Cockchafer (May Bug) larva (Scarabaeidae Melolontha). Find this larva in rotten wood.

The habitat is wrong for "May Bug".

Maybe Rhinoceros Beetle?

Great shots anyway.

Thank you all for comments

@e6filmuser, You were right - this is the larva of Dorcus parallelipipedus (Lucanidae) beetle, I'm pretty sure since I found this bug (dead one) nearly the same rotten wood.

Half right!

This looks like a good match:

I suspect it is not D. parallelipipedus but another Dorcus species but I have to leave it there.
