A friend snapped this picture of a worm-like creature in Big Santa Anita Canyon last week.

He estimated the length at 1-2ft.

Can anyone help identify? Thanks!

A quick search suggests a Horsehair Worm, but I will defer to our experts.

Weird. Here is a page on horsehair worms for the curious:

Sweet! I think your friend found an appendage of The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
