Mystery Worm

The object in the container is a living worm or shrub. It has a soft yellowish brown body color with a brown face. There are multiple lines on its back that represents the numerous segments that make up the body. The worm is eating some particles of food but does it have teeth? How does it ingest nutrients? Another observation is its legs, which appear to be in pairs. How many are there in total? The legs are essential for movement, especially in search for food. Looking closely, the legs near the front of the head are slightly longer and pointed. Further towards the back of the body the legs are shorter and more stubby. The shape of the body follows a bilateral symmetry as one side resembles a lot like the other side. On each side, there are about eight brown spots with one spot on each segment piece of the body. The worm moves in a wave-like movement. It scrunches parts of its body to lift and then shift forward. It produces a cascade of motion within its segments in the body to move.
