It has ten or so long protruding tail hairs that are very noticable. It\'s body is also segmented it is able to curl. The head is as wide as its body where they connect and the tail section is very slightly less wide. It appears to be almost a centimeter in length. It also has 4 pairs of legs located at the front part (near the head) only. Is it perhaps some type of caterpillar or moth larvae? Identification help appreciated. |
