Critter on the Missouri Bluffs

Critter on the Missouri Bluffs
Buchanen County, Missouri, USA
May 29, 2011
Size: 1 inch
Area is called Bluff Woods. Unable to get there now since roads are all under flood-water. Think this is Buchanen County...NW Missouri outside St.Joseph.
Critter was FAST. Looked segmented almost like a millipede or maybe a type of ground beetle larva?

Amazing...
As much as I am around fungi and dead animals...I still don't get to see all there IS to see! Thanx for the ID!
