FORMULA
Select prime numbers having the same first and last digits; if the uniform absolute value of successive digit differences is 3, add to sequence.
EXAMPLE
a(1)=74747 because the number is prime, has identical first and last digits and abs(7-4)=3; abs(4-7)=3; abs(7-4)=3 and abs(4-7)=3. In this number, the worm is 7.
