[Solved] what is this
(lemmy.world)
I live in Arizona. These have been coming out in the evening. They are 1-2” long and looking like really skinny earthworms. I took it to the local pest supply store and they had never seen anything like it.
Update: my pest control company had never seen anything like it. They sent some examples to ASU to identify. Turns out they are a type of millipede. Very uncommon in this region.
I hope someone will chime in who’s more knowledgeable but, yeah, it looks like an earthworm to me. Just…longer? Not a sewage worm, by chance?

At first that’s what I thought…I found tubifex worms image online and thought that was it. I’ve also have a recording of one moving…it kinda glides like it has a lot of legs…but it’s so tiny, I can’t tell if it has legs.
Is it "gliding " in a wavy pattern, or in a straight line?
A wavy pattern, where it glides like that makes me think it's a threadsnake
Hmmm…I’ve seen it move more on the wavy side…reminds me of how a centipede moves.
