:shock: Evidently it belongs to another planet :)

Just a dirty guess: could it be a polychaete like Aelosoma surface with detached setae?

Thank you all for comments.
The riddle was not so difficult for the people who like observing our world through the microscope :)
Yes, it was some diptera larvae. Unfortunately I am not able to identify it closer.
