    Sorry no photo, but will do my best to describe. In my fuge I've noticed in a small area of about 3"x3" some olive green squares with a bright orange dot. These things hardly move but after poking a few they react like worms by which I mean they scrunch up a little and move a small amount. These things are small, about the size of a ballpoint pen tip, and somewhat transparent. Hope that gives a picture

    Sounds like a type of flatworm I agree
