Now THIS is just plain weird!

I saw this bugger this morning when I went out to get the paper. I am surprised it was out and about, given the time of year. It was about 2 inches long. It is called a "hammerhead worm" and believe it or not this thing can grow to 20" in length!

That is an interesting specimen. I photographed one before but it was plain brown.

​They should make gummy worms out of those. ;)

You think that's weird... you should see how they move. Their head can move like a stingray moves when swimming through water. At least the one I shot did.

That's definitely something unusual. If you happen to be on Facebook, you should check out a page called Biblical Creation. They post photos of some highly unusual plants, insects, etc. such as a monkey faced orchid and a caterpillar that has the face of a snake. That's what I thought of as soon as I saw your photo.

I'll see if I can try and post links to the two I mentioned:

Nice photos. Just a shame about the mentally deranged people who post there.
