May be fungus gnat larvae. Have you had a fungus gnat issue or seen any flying around?

Yes! I have a ton.. I’m treating them right now. Are there larvae usually that long? I marked in red so you can see how long it is 🤮

I’ve never seen fungus gnat larvae get that long! Must be something else. You can probably find some kind of eco-friendly pesticide at the hardware store.
