It looks like a worm. It wiggles and waves it’s way around the container that it is placed in. It never looks to travel inwards in the container, just stays on the outer edge sometimes peeking it’s head up the side of the container. It has a black mouth that looks as if it is sensing it’s environment. It moves in waves, going up and down not side to side. It is see through in some places and becomes more opaque as you view from the head down the rest of the body. Sometimes the worm stops moving and reverses just for one “wave”, almost as if it has forgotten the direction it was traveling. If the container gets shaken the worm shrivels up and appears to be lifeless, I don’t know if this is a defense mechanism or the worm is so scared it doesn’t know what else to do rather than go limp. The worm seems to have a lot of complexity for such a simple organism. It is broken into segments that contract and expand as the worm moves. The way that it moves reminds me of an accordian, filling with air and then pressing it out. Sometimes the worm stops moving as though it has lost it’s life force. It seems hungry frantically looking around for food, but I would have no way of knowing that I am just assuming that.
