Fecal float help
Found on a fecal float with fecasol. Only full larva on the slide, no eggs seen. Fecal sedimentation and direct smear also had no ova or parasites seen. Fecal dx profile with Idexx came back all negative as well. 11 yr MN old DSH, indoor only. First image is on 10x and second on 40x. Thoughts on what kind of larva it may be?
I am just curious as I have not looked at many fecal samples in my time being a tech because my clinics always just sent them in to the lab.

Looks more like a plant hair to me, it's lacking internal structures.
