Black Rolling Mysterious Creature

"Have you seen this thing?" Yang Liu posted a picture in the local mountaineering enthusiasts group. It was a black and uniquely shaped thing. "Toilet Plunger with 'bowls' at both ends?" "What is this?" BYD Chang was very confused. "If I knew what it was, would I still be asking?" Yang Liu said. "Uh..." BYD was speechless for a moment and awkwardly withdrew a message. The group also fell silent. But I became interested and saved the picture. Then, I opened Baidu Image Recognition to see what this thing was called. There was no identical picture on Baidu. But there were some text descriptions that were very similar. "It's all black, with suction cups at both ends, and it moves by rolling." This description reminded me of Caterpillar. But not quite. Because its way of moving is more like rolling than crawling. What exactly is it? I replied in the group. "This may be the larvae of Measuring. This kind of insect does not bite humans." "No." BYD Chang replied immediately.
"The Measuring Worm is white or light green, where would you find it in black?"
"Uh... I guess that's true."
BYD Chang truly lives up to his reputation as a car salesman; his reaction time is impressive.
Much quicker than when he's selling cars.
People in the group began to chime in with their opinions.
However, Yang Liu remained silent.
But I could tell that BYD Chang was quite dissatisfied with my response.
He had shown interest in Yang Liu before, and I was aware of that.
After all, during our previous mountain climbing trip, he always seemed to gravitate towards her.
He even offered to carry her backpack.
It was just that Yang Liu didn't have much fondness for him.
While it appeared that there was no competition between us on the surface, we were actually vying against each other in secret.
For instance, during the last climb, I reached the summit a step ahead of him.
It just so happened that he was in a hurry to use the restroom and went down first.
But this time, I definitely wouldn't let him take the lead.
After all, I've recently learned quite a bit about plants and animals from Yao Xiu.
If I could identify this worm successfully, Yang Liu would surely see me in a new light.
And then...
Hehehe!
But for now, the priority is to figure out the name of this worm.
I quickly recalled the popular science books I had read before.
Yet, I couldn't come up with anything concrete at the moment.
Looks like I'll have to seek help from Yao Xiu.
"Everyone, look! This bug seems to have grown!"
After a long silence, Yang Liu spoke up again.
She even shared a short video.
In the video, the bug was caught between two leaves.
Yang Liu blew a few breaths at it.
Then, a miraculous scene unfolded.
The suction cup on the top of the bug stuck to the leaf while the one on the bottom released.
It rolled a few times like a wheel.
When it stopped, it stood upright again.
"Wow, it really has come to life!"
BYD Chang was quite curious.
"Has it gotten bigger?"
Yang Liu asked.
"It doesn't look like it," BYD replied.
"Although the video isn't clear, I feel like it's indeed a bit bigger than before."
"Then put your fingernail next to it; that way, we can have a reference point for comparison."
I responded.
Soon, Yang Liu sent a picture.
I looked at it and saw that the height of the bug was about the same as her left index fingernail.
It took up roughly half its height.
"What on earth is this bug?"
