Not worried about it, just curious as to what kind it is. I put a penny for a sense of how big. Yes, it's head is separated from its body. Both are still moving. Thanks for any help! Matthew A.

It looks like a species of Fannia, but difficult as it's so badly faded and eaten. In any case, it's not a pest species, but whatever's been eating it probably is!
