What a strange creature!


PaysBasque

Recommended Posts

I saw a very strange little creature yesterday and wondered if anyone out there knows what it was. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me, but I'll do my best to describe it. It was about 1.5 to 2 inches long and looked a bit like a snake or a caterpillar. The head was more snake-like, but it almost looked as if it had one tiny little eye in the middle of the head on the top. Colour was beige/grey with brown spots and markings in a symmetrical pattern all over. I couldn't make out any feet as such, and when my husband tickled it with a bit of grass it moved really quickly. That is also why I don't actually think that it was a caterpillar, the movement was just too quick. Also, when I first spotted it it was about to dig itself into some dirt. What was it?

Thanks for your help,
