I need the help of those naturalists who revel in the entomological =
world:

=20

I received a photo from my sister (link below)  wanting to know the name =
of this large =E2=80=98grub=E2=80=99 found near the Bridgewater area on =
Jan 13th.  There were two of them crawling on top of the fresh snow.  =
They were almost the size a =E2=80=9Ca little finger=E2=80=9D, referring =
to both length and diameter of a small finger.  (A good snack for a =
bird, except they are now apparently in a jar.)

My sister has a sense of humor, stating:=20

=E2=80=9C... Unless you live up north, in the Arctic, where that "husky =
dusky maiden lived, and where the ice worms nest ...??"   Do you suppose =
this is an ice worm?  Lol.   They were almost the size of her little =
finger.   Let me know if you can identify them.  She rescued them and =
put them in a jar.=E2=80=9D

Thanks for the help.  (This is my first attempt at Flickr.  Hope it =
works!)
