Look for a silky hanging bag in the wattles, kind of tear drop shaped but dont disturb them...Tempohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023337124226272532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915802695401210134.post-72845217419748745942012-03-13T19:54:38.272+10:302012-03-13T19:54:38.272+10:30This was fascinating!

I've seen the bags many times but I dont mess with those.. I heard about a bloke tearing one open, the caterpillars poured down on his face, neck and chest and made him very sick for a long time.<br />Hi Pearl, we have this weird bush moth that has a body about 4 inches long, wingspan of about 6 inches...I'll send you one..hundred<br />I read somewhere that the average person swallows 3 spiders a year in their sleep (truly) Sleep well..<br />Hey KaLynn, It was so rare to actually get photos of this that I had to post them, I will probably never get pics like this again.<br />Hey Windsmoke, No Photoshop was used in this post, though I did have to Google to get the last two pics.<br />Hey Spiral, I'm not sure if you have them up your way (too cold?) but I guess you dont because with the amount of time you spend out doors I'd have thought you would have seen them.<br />Hi Belle, The only place they can be attacked is their head or butt, by teaming up like this they are quite impervious. As I took these pics there were ants trying to find a way to attack them but they couldn't even get close.Tempohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023337124226272532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915802695401210134.post-87276408741485341162012-03-13T17:15:49.350+10:302012-03-13T17:15:49.350+10:30I love learning new stuff, especially about nature...I love learning new stuff, especially about nature. It is amazing how they all follow each other like that. It's great you got to photograph them. You should sent the photos to a magazine or something! Too bad it hurts people to touch them. I loved picking up caterpillars when I was a child. It was about the only bug I wasn't afraid of.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175778756449339363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915802695401210134.post-84745163772700379312012-03-13T11:10:29.155+10:302012-03-13T11:10:29.155+10:30Fascinating!
