unidentified gogga

[knysna]

Good day to you,

Please could you identify the gogga that has invaded my garden in the thousands in Knysna. Looks like a worm but only 6 legs and only in the front section. Black with yellow underbelly, and very slight feint yellow stripe on back, 2 cm. Suspect it is a larvae of something as does not appear to be eating anything, but all over trees, pots, concrete walls. Lately forming clumps. Not moving much.

Thank you.

Kill it with fire. It's grows up to look like this:

Ok if it's not a alien maybe it's a Caterpillar Hunter Larva.

maybe some sort of beetle larva

I suspect it is a larvae, and probably that of a beetle of some sort, but all those on the above, links although similar, are in the USA and I am in South Africa. Never seen many beetles on the property, but then again we have had years of drought until this year, so maybe good rains have aided the breeding
