It is a small bean shape with a thin and long tail. It is soft and squishy to the touch. The object has a taupe color but its semitransparent on the main body. You can see that it is filled with organs and fluid of some sort. The tail is not transparent, and Is a darker brown. It seems to have a small opening at the end of the body opposite of the tail, leading me to believe that it is its mouth. Additionally, it has eight little nubby legs, and walks like a caterpillar. It is alive and has awakened. I don’t know what it is but it is not aesthetically pleasing and kind of creepy. It is trying to escape my petri dish. Originally it was covered in sawdust. I believe it is a red tailed maggot, hence the sawdust. It seems to like to crawl around the perimeter of the petri dish. To crawl, it pushes forward its head and then scrunches its tail towards the head. It is interesting to see its organs shift as he crawls around the dish. He appears to have tiny sensors by his mouth opening as well. Additionally, when he is touched, he does not struggle but rather freezes and acts as if he is dead. Once you leave him alone for a minute, he will continue to move around. I also believe if it is not the organs that I see inside him moving, it is the buts of sawdust he has eaten. He broke free of the petri dish and I had to corral him back in. He is 3 cm long including tail. His body length resting is about 1.25 cm long
