It does look like a bloodworm.

Interesting!! Hope you get an ID, Malcolm Wilton-Jones. I would love to know what that little worm is.
Thanks, I'll look it up.
May be a bloodworm.
It was about twice the size (length and width) of the usual mosquito larva we see here, and they are usually a dull grey or brown colour.
mosquito larvae perhaps?
