A tiny whiteish worm, what is it ??

[Julie]

Does anyone know what this is, a tiny whiteish looking worm, my friend says they are very small I haven't got a clue, anyone know what theses are. She said she saw 2 on the terrace this week and now one on her worktop. Any ideas

A maggot?

[Nimrod]

If it's got little black dots for eyes ,is about half an inch long and wriggles then odds on it is indeed a maggot.

She hasn't got cats has she? Cats' worms look like that.

I was going to say the same thing Wicksey,only dog worms..
it would be much more likely to be from a cats bottom beings tho,they can get on the worktops...
god,with all this talk of worms and lice on this forum today.its making me feel sick.

[Julie]

She doesn't have cats, but plenty around her house, wild ones, in fact she said one was in her kitchen the other day, and it didn't even run away when she sooded it off.
Anyway, will wiping all around with bleach help, thats what we did, I did mine too when I got back, its a creepy feeling, I am now obbsessed with worms Lol !

[Nimrod]

If it's a cat (tape ) worm,it will be flat and not have"eyes"
However,it will still wriggle

It's a Pantry Moth - just Google it!

You were right Cid, the picture is of the same thing, looks like she was lucky, we never found anymore. Horrible little things

[El Cid]

Maybe you were thinking of the Panty Moth - now that could be nasty!
