On october 23, 2012 I observed a new organism that looked like a worm but with segmented body sections. After closely examining the multi-cellular organism, it moves around by convulsing its entire body and it moves so fast that it looks like it is a continuous figure eight shape. Then when it stops its straight as shown in the picture above and you can see the segments of the body. The organism is a Diptera sp. Midge which is an insect larva (Thorp and Covich). Towards the tail end of the body there is a section that juts out of the body those are the formation of legs for the insect (Thorp and Covich).
