Garden Pests and Diseases: Is This String Like Thing a Foe?, 1 by lincolnitess

Saw something in my garden this AM that I had never seen before. It was a string-like thing about 5" long and the diameter of a piece of sewing thread. It was on top of the soil and moved in a worm like fashion. It lifted up about 1 1/2" of what I guess was it's head end and seemed to be looking around. Climbed up one of my daylily leaves then climbed back down. It has rained heavily the night before I saw it. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks!
