Anyone know what this is, the would has gone on the fire outside anyway, just curious as the wood was riddled with them?

 

Cheers

Look like stag beetle larvae to me.

 

They have a liking for rotten wood.

Cheers! I feel like a bit of a leech on this forum at the minute, but really do appreciate the knowledge. Just wanted to make sure I hadn't brought some nasty firewood wrecking creature into my wood store! Thanks again!

 

and my first thought was of 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' lol
