"As to what the weird creature may have been, the consensus online seems to be that it is an uncharacteristically-large rat-tailed maggot which, since Deen opted not to kill it, will likely transform into a drone fly at some point in the not-too-distant future. The puzzling appendage is, in fact, not a tail, but a breathing tube which the bug uses in the event that it winds up underwater."

Growing up, the orange tree and privet bushes in our back yard had swarms of drone flies. We thought they were stingerless bees and called them "H" bees because of their markings.
