A terrified woman, Bex Deen, recently posted a video of a mysterious creature on social media and gained attention from viewers.

The creature was seen as a five-inch-long specimen resembling a sausage with a thin tail, leaving her unsure of what to do.
She was forced to share it on social media to seek answers.
Stunned by the discovery, Bex Deen sought help from friends to identify the creature."
In the comment selection, many shared their fear of this creature, while someone admitted that despite being creeped out, they couldn't look away from it.
Some even speculated that it was an alien, while others suggested it was a rat-tailed maggot.
One person said: It's a tiger! Run!
A second wrote: Looks a little like the creature in the beginning of this season's Stranger Things.
While a third commented: Tony Blair during his larval phase.
Someone else said: Its rare footage of a virgin broadband signal, normally they travel much faster.
Another added: It's a moldy corn dog that you left around and has started moving. Clean your house.
Whatever it is its probably wondering how to get out of your dirty kitchen. Someone said.
In the comment, many determine that this identity was created.
One person suggested that it appears that the creature is most likely a larger than normal rat-tailed maggot, which will eventually metamorphose into a drone fly.
A rat-tailed maggot, typically less than an inch long, can have a tail as long as six inches when fully extended.
This maggot is the immature stage of a drone fly, which resembles a honey bee.
The tail serves as a breathing tube when the maggot is submerged underwater, as it does not have gills.
These maggots are usually found in stagnant water sources, such as lagoons and manure pits.
Rat-tailed maggots become a nuisance when they crawl away from their breeding site to find a dry place. This is when they begin to transform into the adult stage.
Ms Deen expressed concern about where the creature had escaped to.
