I found them in a pond I had in NM, and was a bit freaked out by them at first. I put one in a jar and had it ID by a biologist - still found them a bit freaky (especially the way they drive their grasshopper host to drown itself in water), but less so.
yes! that looks like it! amazing! Thank you :)
Most likely a horsehair worm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nematomorph...
