Caterpillar Web

My pal, Mr. Keysunset sent me this series of photos. They show the slow creep of bag caterpillars as they metastasize to engulf bicycles and lamposts. It's fodder for a primo horrorshow I tell you.

The worst ones, IMO, are the SWAT caterpillars coming down on cords of web like an over-sized, hungry fungus. Ick! I'm grossing myself out.

I think that infestation could've been stopped by a few healthy doses of shopvac usage (what fun that would've been)! But what a deal. Wonder why the homeowners (if they were present) didn't do anything about it? Maybe it was just all too fascinating.

K, sliding over from LJ to post here
