    What Is This Gross Looking Pest and How Do I Get Rid of It?

    I found this worm looking creature with 4 legs coming out of it head in my drain to waste water. It looks like it is eating a black pest. Anyone know what it is called and how to get rid of them? My index finger tip is shown in one photo to provide a relative size of the thing.

        I agree with Tika, looks to be a termite. No prob for your plants but you might want to have somebody check out your house, so the roof doesn't cave in. LOL

      It looks like an odd species of earwig.
      And they aren't harmful to plants.
      I like big buds and I can not lie.

        Jesus, that is evil.
        I encountered collembola in my reservoir once. Freaked me the hell out. Thought I was going to lose my crop, turns out they were not so harmful to plants anyway!

          That looks pretty close just a little different coloring.
          It doesn't look like an earwig to me because it doesn't have the rear pincher looking things.

        Just curious, did you ever figure out what bug this was?

          I second this curiousity, it sounds like it's a debate on whether it's a termite or an earwig?
