Has anyone seen one of these?

I found this long (approx 4 inches) but with a very tiny width worm? I have never seen one of these before and my books don't list such a worm. To top it off I found a couple of them in one day, on rhododendrons and a rose bush.

So does anyone know what this is?
Thanks

TheFishGuy,

I personally find them just ok quality but my first time with this type of worm. Now if I can just figure out what it is....

I don't know but I wouldn't want to accidently ingest one..............Alien 6.

Nice captures!

Wonderful shot- think they are horsehair worms. They are insect parasites only - not harmful to humans.

LordV,
Thank you,
It seems to fit perfectly under the descriptions of a Horsehair worm.

Bill Pham & Sugarman,
Thanks, glad you liked them

Just reminds me of some of the wonders of macro photography, there are tons and tons of tiny creatures

It turns out that when they are younger they may live in these

Good shot.

Looks like a nematode worm, normally a gut parasite. Probably waiting to be swallowed by it's next host.
