Cocoons and larvae eat Sweden


Saturday, August 5, 2006

These photos are all amazing, especially the close-ups on the big swarm in the corner.

They remind me that episode of X-Files with small spiders.

It might be chilly, but the good news is that one day they will become nice and beautiful butterflies, won’t they?

This Swedish website contains jaw-dropping (and way grody) photos of a carpet caterpillar (?) infestation in which bicycles and trees are completely covered in cocoon that’s filled with masses of writhing, maggot-like larvae.

Of all the books I’ve read, the general plot is usually what’s left in my memory as time goes by. I sometimes remember the various characters if their traits has been extensively explored in the story, but seldom I remember specific sentences.
In the book I’m reading at the moment, there’s a passage that stroke me.
I don’t why but I’m pretty sure this will stay in my memory for awhile.

“A poor black cat had been mistaken for coals and shovelled on the fire”

it’s a Virginia Woolf novel.
