Kathy and I found this guy at Three Tree North this morning. I don't know that I've ever seen anything like it before. Here are several pictures. My books are packed up in preparation for our upcoming move, so I don't have a way to look it up. Help?
A fairly basic shot
A look at the underside. This was actually a piece of it that came off while it was running around.
I got this one as it was going past me, trying to get a shot of its feet-things.

And here's a short video of it zipping around trying to find a hiding place. This guy could MOVE!
So, can somebody tell me what it is?
Thanks!

Re: Mystery Worm
I checked in the Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest book and it appears to be a giant fleshy scaleworm (Hololepida magna).
Could be wrong but it sure looks similar.

Re: Mystery Worm
Sounds good to me. The "giant" and "fleshy" sure apply. Thanks!
