Question Help ID please

I was inspecting my LR because my son said he saw something moving and I found something odd sprouting from a small opening in the LR. There are 4 "feeler-like" things probing the rock from the crack. 3 of them look banded with white rings and appear more translucent then the 4th "probe" which seems a snail like gray color. It is also the most active of the feelers. Thanks for any help. Oh, and it's way too small for my garbage camera to photo right now.



Update: terrible picture posted below

Actually, that is an intriguing guess. Here is a photo of the featherstar. And it does look banded like that. Guess I'll have to keep watching.

Thanks for the tip.

Cool, thanks. I just turned my lights off, so I'm going to camp him for a little while. I hope he comes out. hehe
