Allright smart people ... any idea on what this is?

Nightly it sends out a "web" type string ... I will try to grab a picture of that. I am putting up one picture of it barely coming out and one picture of it in. When it is all the way out it has those two.. proboscis type things that retract and release it's 'web'.

I've got a little guy like that that sends out filaments to catch stuff.  Except he's built himself a cocoon out of small pieces of gravel.  He's still fun to watch.
