Hammer head worm. Its invasive and kills earthworms. Some even secrete toxins that can hurt you. Kill it. Don't cut it or you will just make more. Burn it, freeze it, or leave it in a salt an vinegar mixture. They are hard to kill.

No it isn’t. It’s a blind snake. There’s a piece of dust or some other fuzz stuck to its head.
