had the odd one or two of these a while back but thought nothing of it. we'd just had our bathroom done, and bath wasnt sealed properly so wondered if it was to do with a wet floor underneath the bath, but i fixed it a few months ago and we still get the odd couple.
not enough to think theres a problem, but after just seeing a couple in the toilet now (separate toilet and bathroom) i thought id investigate a bit further. google maybe suggests larvae of moth fly or somethings, but then says we should see the odd fly, which we dont.
anyone else had these and can shed a bit more light on it. for perspective, the floor tiles are around 5 or 6 inch square, so theyre diddly little things, but there just doesnt seem any one place where we see them, sometimes the bathroom, sometimes the toilet, which has never had a leak or get condensation.

You have seen Prometheus ?
Flatworms?
be thankful they're not white!
bum worms...
Leeches?
what country are you in?
Are they worms or millipedes- do they curl up if you touch them?
Look up!
they may b falling down rather than crawling across...
im in england, i havent touched them yet (hoping not to) and yeah, hadnt thought of coming from above. although its just a ceiling with spotlights, no gap round the sides so id probably be expecting them to be 'floor based'.
thanks
Is there a corpse in your attic?
baby bobbit worms
Vampire worms. The failure of your camera to focus on them suggests that they're in a state of transition

psychodidae larvae. Easy to get rid of. The adult form are really pretty, close up, too

I Googled "Killer Worms" f'ralaff, wish I hadn't, the images are upsetting.
Regular bleach in the toilet and some proper drain cleaner will clear them out the bowl, not sure why you are getting them on the floor though.

Do you have a cat? Flea larvae are small black worms
Fire. Lots of fire.
And run.
They remind me of the opening levels of Another World.
That takes me back.......

Remember, a worm is for life and not just for Christmas. 😐
Look up!
No FFS - they always do that slowly in horror movies and see something massive and hairy with millions of legs and fangs hanging from the roof
Slipknot?
Where are the BIG ones?

Great game!
As cdoc said, probably drain flies, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain_fly
yeah, seems the most likely, but we're not seeing any flies, moths, or anything with wings in the house at all...... which is a good thing 😀
This is what happens when you're not allowed to wash your bike in the garden..
Your pics are out of focus but they look more like millepedes than worms.

next time i see one ill mebbes get it on a piece of A4 paper and give it a closer inspection. erk.
thanks
Look a lot like anal leeches
Yeah, I overheard a conversation the other day and it would seem that getting yourself an anal leech is all the rage...
You know that little blister your leg you scratched and the small baby spiders ran out of ......
ok, looks like we're ramping it up now, im not sure this is a bathroom/toilet issue now.
i keep an empty jug by the front door for 'defrosting purposes'. its in our porch. just been to get it and looks like a few dead worms in it, so they must be getting in somewhere near that door.

thought id have a look outside the door for clues and saw a few on the wall, not sure how well you can see them in this pic.....
[img] 
[/img]
so then i started looking more closely and theres a fair few of them [i]all along the whole wall!![/i]
i wondered if theyd be near the drain especially, but not really, theres no specific place, just scattered about on that whole wall. theres some on the window sills and i spose theyd find any little cracks.
pic below of our wall, with drain down the far end near the gas box, so you can see theyre spread over a wide area.
what the bloody hell are they??

I'd be contacting local council environmental health.
yeah, think ill give em a ring this morning.
narrowing it down now....... 'captured' one of them before it ate me alive, and put it on a sheet of paper to investigate. they do indeed have legs, so millipedes at a guess?

Daaaaw! Millipedes are wonderful little things (when not being an invasion force threatening to devour your family)!
Should get that looked at though. They only really live in damp places, feeding on decaying organic matter, particularly rotting wood.
Not sure that they should be so common inside, either.
I told you at the bottom of page 1 they are millipedes and you went on wasting your time!

Get loads in the house - go away for a weekend, and the buggers break in.

sorry global, i did read the link, ive read everyones posts, but until i saw the ickle legs for myself i thought they were wormlike. thought millipedes were bigger than these. thanks
bit weirder now, mrs expunk wanted to see them so i took her out half an hour later and theyd nearly all disappeared. which is worrying...... 😀
theyd nearly all disappeared
theyre now either in your jug or up yer bum.
