Hi there! Recently this critter (in my dads words) "slithered across the floor" in our house, in Eugene Oregon. My dad managed to capture a photo of it before it disappeared somewhere in the house. It looks almost like a link of chains, metallic in a sense, but neither me nor my father have any idea what it is. A quick reverse image search suggest caterpillar, and my dad thinks it could be a centipede. But honestly I'm not even sure if it's a bug or not. Could you help identify it?
CLOSED: What is this?? Caterpillar, centipede, robot??
It's a larva of a snakefly; quite an interesting (and harmless) creature. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakefly for an image of an adult snakefly.
