ID'd as possibly Selandria melanosterna which likes long grass in damp places:

Excellent shots Toby - looks suspiciously similar to some larvae that I used to see in Sydney (but longer). I wonder if they are Sawfly larvae as well...

thanks - probably only an inch long in fact but I was struck by its luminous quality.

MPe65 which didn't allow for a whole body shot.
