OT - Tiny house guest - Really tiny!

I found this little guy on the bathroom floor this morning.
You should see his tiny little tongue. I wonder how he got in
here.

Maybe he can help out with my ant problem.
(Probably not, how many ants could he possibly eat)...

Yes, I can see the little eye/nerve spots when then sun shines
through him.

He's an active little fellow that's for sure. I thought he was
a worm at first. I guess they probably live inside ant colonies
since they eat ant larvae, that makes him a guest of a
pest.

It seems that he isn't a native either...

Yeah, I found one of those a couple weeks ago when I was visiting my parents in Arizona. I did a bit of research and learned that they come over to the States in plants and flowers. Crazy. They really do look like worms. AND...they're ASEXUAL! Weird.
