Rat-tailed Maggot
Is it a worm? Is it a fish? A strange creature has been filmed swimming in a glass of tap water.
The video was uploaded to YouTube by Diego Oritz, from Mendoza in Argentina, and has been viewed nearly 70,000 times.

Turns out this worm-like creature is called a rat-tailed maggot, which is a larva of the drone fly. So technically if Diego waits long enough, this thing will fly out of his glass of water on its own. Then again, he should probably get his water tanks cleaned before then.
