Good job — your sentence is mostly correct! Here is a clearer version that a reader will understand right away:

Corrected: An echidna's nose can feel the tiniest wiggles of bugs in the dirt.

Why this is better (step by step):

  1. Subject: "An echidna's nose" tells us what we are talking about.
  2. Verb: Adding "can" (can feel) shows the echidna's ability to feel those wiggles.
  3. Object: "the tiniest wiggles of bugs in the dirt" tells us exactly what the nose feels.

Other simple ways to say it:

  • "An echidna's nose feels tiny wiggles from bugs in the dirt."
  • "Echidnas can feel the tiniest wiggles of bugs in the dirt with their noses."

All versions are correct; the one with "can" is a little clearer about ability.
