In The Backyard #5

This is the outer layer of the Case Moth larva
If you want to know all the scientific stuff (and I must admit it is more interesting than I thought it would be). GO HERE

Lucky me. I thought I had found one that had mettemof/ metammor/ met... changed into a moth


On closer inspection I thought .. "Wow,

Tasmanians what a strange sight!"

But after a bit of research on the intertubes I found that it was probably a couple of layabout males looking for a good time with a female case moth who never gets a chance to fly. After some really interesting wriggling around one of these guys gets lucky and flies away. She lays eggs and dies. Obviously God is punishing them for something evil .
For real info go here
