It is 100% insect larva I'm sure. But you are not alone with this theory. Look at the legs (only 3 on one side and I don't think there are any hiding) and the antennae look insect like. It has similarities to several ladybird larvae (but it isn't one). Someone at BRC has passed it on to a beetle expert. If we are still stumped I might ask you to ask Mike .....oohhhhh errrrr
Whitby Birding is now a historical site, I'm not intending to post here anymore. However, I still intend to continue blogging go to my Literate Herring blog, see below.

I'm no expert but have you considered a woodlouse of some kind?

Getting Mike to see a picture of it might be a problem, you know how the internet is a complete mystery to him!
