odd worm, need help to id

13 years ago

2 days ago this site would not let me post here, so I had to put this creature in the Name That Animal section. No response. Hope to get some here.
Wiggles when threatened. Oozes along to move - no legs.
Has star-nosed-mole type of formation at head end.
Was in my bathroom. Have cats. Bring grass in for them to eat. Last grass was very wet with a lot of mud with it. Hope this dude came out of the mud, not out of my cats!!
Thanks

The larvae are commonly called 'leather jackets' and if in large numbers can weaken lawns by chewing on roots. I like crane flies, too. I've seen robins go after the larvae in my yard.
