About all I can tell you is that it appears to be a beetle larva of some sort. If you cnnot obtain a clearer image, can you elaborate as to the circumstances as to where you found it as well as its approximate size?

That looks quite like a mealworm.

I doubt very much that this would be a mealworm (Tenebrio molitor); those are much more tapered posteriorly - see http://tinyurl.com/66ak2e2 for an image.

I found it at the preschool I work at in soil under woodchips. It kind of looked like a grub but long and skinny. I am sorry I deleted the photo. I will try to get one tomorrow. We have found several of them.
