No idea really, only that it had a silk like material that it trailed, and it was translucent. I lifted it, and the material was thread-like, not slime like. On pitch pine. Kenny.

Reminds me of a keroplatid actually.
The two lateral stripes right behind the head and that head capsule. Annelids wouldn't have a head capsule, and the annular segments for which they are named are usually much more distinct.

An annelid maybe in the
white worm group, an Oligochaeta??
