Tan, Segmented Worm is a Mealworm
“What kind of a worm is this?” asks this reader about the light brown, segmented, worm-like critter pictured below. “It’s tan and one-inch long, with legs in the front and back that crunch when killed. Found on the floor. We live in Vermont and they have just been showing up lately (March and April).” Naturally, we have gotten to this submission very late, as it was sent last spring, so perhaps this issue has already been resolved. In any case, we still wish to cover the story, in the case that other readers have found similar things, or will find similar things this upcoming spring, and wish to know what it is.
