Click Beetle Larva

Yes, it does bite...but it doesn't really hurt. This one just has me by the fingernail.

You know what they say: If you play with beetle larvae, you're gonna get bitten...

I love bugs and creepy crawly things, but, this kind of 'creeps me out'.

KaHolly,
Sorta creeped me out, too. Particularly when it was clamped onto my fingernail and twisting around in the air...ever see the movie "Tremors" ;)

That's impressive. And the photo lends itself to what you said about it twisting and writhing in the air while it held on.

Do they glow?

I don't believe this one glows. There are some similar-looking species that do, though.
