Thought I saw antennae in this picture which would have indicated an Onycophoran. There are several species of velvet worms that look exactly like this, MargaritaOrlova.
It doesn't look like a worm at all. It looks like a hawk moth caterpillar (Sphingidae family).
This is in family Sphingidae, a Hawk Moth caterpillar..
Order Onycophora (Velvet worms)
looks similar to the penis worm.sorry don't know proper name.
