Bug Experts needed
 
What the heck work is this? Looks like a worm/catapiller, was chewing on my
Amazon Sword, ate a good two leaves before I caught him. These two photo's,
I have him caught in the stem of the Amazon. He's the wormy thing poking
out.

That particular critter shows up in a question every few weeks here. I
had one in my tank awhile back, too. Best answer I got is that it's a
caddisfly larvae. You might start with doing a net search on that.
