    Anyone seen any of these before? It appears to be a flattened bristleworm. Any ID on this guy would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Doesn't look like a bristleworm but not sure otherwise.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks like a big bristle worm to me. Tons of different types and they can change shape. Stretched out they get thinner. I have one that looks very similar.

    Looks like the pics I've seen of fire worms as opposed to bristle worms. Maybe some sort of scale worm? Is it scaly?

    Can't tell if it has bristles or not. Any way to get better focus?

    I think it's a scaleworm, too. They're related to your bristleworms and fireworms.

    Cheers,
