May 28, 2009: Carcoon

It took a while, actually quite awhile, but it was worth it.
You finally talked that object of your lust into going back to your place.
So hand in hand, you walk (float) back to your car, but when you turn the corner...

The car was mistaken as food by spindle ermine larvae, which had already begun to strip a nearby tree of its leaves.
Spindle ermines weave silk webs to protect themselves from birds and wasps, allowing them to gorge on leaves for six
weeks before transforming into butterflies.

Cheer up, it'll only be six weeks, then you can impress your beloved with butterflies. :rolleyes:

Maybe in 6 weeks the car will be Ferrari :)

Silk webs don't protect them from my blowtorch.

Just tell her you practice safe parking. Gossamer thin, to give him maximum sensitivity, yet studded with larval bumps to give her blissful stimulation!

nom nom nom.... spindle ermine larvae nest soup.

Looks pretty nasty. Squirt some bug spray on that thing.

Would that enhance the flavor?

How long did it take for that to happen?

I could never get in that car again - I don't care how much you cleaned it ...
ewwwwwwwwwwwww

This isn't insects! Didn't anyone see Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

Excuse me while I barf.

I could never get into that car again either.

Apparently I do have an instinctive "killit Killit KILLIT" reaction to at least one species of insect. :yeldead:

Are they trying to make a silk purse out of a ... Honda? They can have the car, immediately and forever. YUCK.

Looks kinda like a Prelude, so yeah, a sow's ear 'bout covers it.

I'd take it. Even in its current state. I'd possibly even get a kick out of making it clean again. There would be dramatic before and after pictures there.

I'm the kinda gut that would drive it thru town at least once, in its current state just for the hell of it.

I have a tree in my backyard that looked just like that a few weeks ago. There were frequent short, sharp showers of caterpillars whenever the wind blew. It got so that one couldn't sit out on the deck on a nice day without getting caterpillars down the collar.

Choke cherry? The tent caterpillars love the choke cherry trees.

I'd take it too. Purely based on my circumstances.
But I would be awake for weeks in horror at the memory of cleaning it.

A car covered in spunk?.......

Actually it's a CAR WIDE WEB.
