I saw what I thought was an Annelid worm of some sort, but a little research convinced me that it was a midge fly larva. Since I video just about anything that I haven’t seen before, here it is.

This early in the season it may be a young one, judging from its size. As they mature you will see club-like hands below the head and at the tail gills with sets of very fine claws.

This specimen had some short "hands" that didn't show in the video. Thanks for the information and for watching!
