PINNACLE 2,297 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I saw this yesterday and can't find out what it is. It looked like a centipede in a seed or grass husk, it was dragging it along a boardwalk. Sorry a bit out of focus. bug by Martin Billard, on Flickr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waltjnr 8,118 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 like a sort of caddis fly larvae type thing? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonnie bravo 572 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 +1 for caddis, but as a complete guess. I've not seen them like that before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PINNACLE 2,297 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Oh and it retracted inside when anything went close to it. I am glad I was stumped now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Gain 1,764 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 It's a caddis fly larvae ,pinnacle. Yep, definitely caddis fly larvae, seen quite a few over the years. Used to find the empty cases washed up in the shallows sometimes, even found one which incorporated a spent matchstick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
