    Bug in Thailand with no legs apparent and has sort of a tongue to move?
    I found this bug working its way across my laptop while I was working at night. It doesn't look like it has any legs. It is about 1/4" to 1/2" in length. It is like a little gray/brown tube and when it moves it extends this tongue like thing to pull itself forward (or backward because it can extend from both ends of its body).

    It's a very strange creature :) I'd like to know if it may be the thing responsible for some rather hideous bites I've been getting while I sleep (I thought they were ant bites, but rather severe).

    I posted a video of the bug in action: (it is inside a SDHC mem card container, so you can see it is quite small)

    I'm not even certain that it is an insect. The motion reminds me more of a snail or a mollusc.

    Further research suggests that it may be a very young bagworm. Look at this and see if it's similar:

    This looks like a household casebearer, also known as a plaster bagworm.
