Love your description there Anthony.


Yeah its a big brittle worm all right. I lost my cocworm a while back, thought it was the weirdest looking thing ever that crawled out. I heard they crawl out of their shell before they die. Any one have any info as to why they would leave their shell?

Don't feel bad George, I had the exact same reaction the first time I saw its ugly naked body. Ewwwww, kill it. Dang bristleworm killed my beautiful Hawaiian feather duster. Luckily I left it alone & it grew back its "feathers" a couple of weeks later.
