These seem consistent with larvae of Fannia. There’s almost certainly an animal carcass nearby.

They have appeared in large numbers (20 in one day, 19 the next) this week in Oxford in the UK in a corridor of an old building which was converted into an archive space about 15 years ago. The environment where they were found is cool and not controlled. I thought that they omitted a rather unpleasant smell. I have no idea what they are and would be most grateful for some help in identifying them. The rule is in millimetres, they are between 10mm and 15 mm in length. Apologies for the poor images - they were moving when I was trying to photograph them. They are cream/brown/dark brown in colour. One cleaner found one in her hair and thought they could be dropping from beams above. Any expert identification would be much appreciated.
