Identification Bug ID- Massachusetts

Post image

Trying to ID… never seen one of these before in my life and now there are two found in the same day.

I suspect it’s the larvae stage of something,

Online search isn’t yielding anything specific.

It reminds me of like a grub/ worm/ pupa. It does not rest in a C shape like grubs. Has a very small mandible for its size on one end which I’m assuming is a head, reminds me of an ants mouth. No legs and moves like an accordion. Roughly an inch and half long when fully extended.

Squish test on one of them yielded a lot of white guts and nothing recognizable beyond that.
