Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but there seem to be some experts here so thought I'd try...Went moseying around my unfinished basement looking for the source of the nightly pitter patter of feet we hear upstairs (but that's another story....), and came across this....THING. He was lying on the concrete floor. Just wondering what it is, and where it came from? Looks a little like some kind of parasitic flat worm, but I've never seen a head like that. We have a sump pump access fairly near where I found him--could that be the source?

Edited to say its about 3-4 inches long, the body is flattened, not round, and there is a small protuberance off the body about half way between what I presume is the head and the tail (visible in the picture).
