There is a single larva-like organism contained within a clear, plastic container. The larva's body is long, semented, and tan in color with a dark brown head at one end. There are also brown flecks along its side. The organism moves around the perimeter of the container using its many small appendages on its underside. Waves travel through its body from the back to the front, propeling the organism forward. The organism seems to want to leave the container, rearing the upper half of its body up onto the container walls and scratching the sides with its front six appendages.
Comments
Mention the actual or
Mention the actual or approximate length of the larva and the number of segments that make up the larva. Is the organism scratching the sides in attempt to obtain a grip or just reacting to the change in environment?
Avoid anthropomorphizing
Avoid attributing human characteristics (like seeming to want) to non-human animals.
Expand on observations
You noticed brown specks on the larvae. Why do you think it might have those? Why does it seem like it wants to leave the container?
- Also avoiding anthromorphizing is important.
