Summary

Article Name

Worm with Brown Body and Dark Head and Tail

Description

We recently received a photo from a reader of a creature that is about 3 mm long. The photo is quite dark, but the creature appears to have a brown body with a dark head and tail. She said she found it in her bedroom above her headboard. She also mentioned that she has been quite itchy lately, but we don’t know for sure if that has to do with this creature or not.
