Re: what on earth is this?
Deceiving little devils, those dandelion seeds, aren't they? I can make out the stalk and seed head now!

I've had a close study of your close up and it appears to me that there are a number of the tubes showing the red end of a worm larva which do look like Tubifex or similar.

Here's hoping someone with a knowledge of such things might come along soon. I'll do a bit more digging. I have a mate in the FBA up the road who knows about such things.
