Just been outside the feed the cat who has his food in the outhouse. There, hanging from the old pipework are 3 absolutely huge cocoons. They are hideous! Black and more than 4 inches long. They weren't there yesterday. What the hell is going to come out? AIBU to be very worried?

earwigs have been known to kill people by crawling into ear canals at night and ending up in brains

true medical fact

ear plugs people, ear plugs

Degustibusnonestdisputandem · 15/05/2015 10:34

Not an zombie alien then?

Shame. I'm settling into my new country though, might stay.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 15/05/2015 08:07

Excellent outcome and kudos to your DH for getting in there! Urgh to the earwigs though

I dreamed about the fungus last night. It was all over my garden. I've not opened the curtains yet this morning.....

Not sure if he swallowed it or sat on it - pmsl Grin

SoupDragon · 15/05/2015 07:07

Those will be the giant maggots that hatched out of the so called "fungus"

The OP has been assimilated into the collective and is posting distractions about fungus to move us away from the truth...

OOOh, no Tracy, whatever you do, don't Google.

A fungus, eh?

I immigrated to Antarctica to get as far away from the Midlands as possible. I guess it's safe to return now.

TracyBarlow · 14/05/2015 23:48

I can't even look at the word earwig. It's made me puke a bit to write it.

Bravo OP. If there'd been something like that in my outhouse I'd have been on the phone to Mulder and Scully PDQ.

quellerosiel · 14/05/2015 23:27

Ps.... hope the kids get better and you dont catch the puking Grin

Norks me too :-)

Catsize · 14/05/2015 23:08

Thought as much. I clearly have hidden fungal talents. At least there is no longer mushroom for doubt.

NorksAreMessy · 14/05/2015 23:03

2boys I am supposed to be asleep, but I am lying here giggling about your cat-propelled cotton-bud weapon

thatstoast · 14/05/2015 22:58

Lesson of thread: Nature is terrifying!

TheEggityOddity · 14/05/2015 22:54

I thought knowing would be better, but it's not!

BigRedBall · 14/05/2015 22:54

Cotton bud in cat's bum? Shock

It's like the feline relative of the cotton bud bum cleaning DH. (Anyone remember that thread? )

FyreFly · 14/05/2015 22:52

Wooo! I called it Grin

I bet you're feeling a bit better now OP!

2boys2girls · 14/05/2015 22:52

I think the cat used the cotton buds as a plan of attack,bet he'd been lifting tail aiming and firing, shooting buds in a random attack ;-)

Gralick · 14/05/2015 22:51

What an incredibly satisfying update, OP! Thanks Grin

DontWorryBeHappyNow · 14/05/2015 22:48

Yes, how come you missed posting a "cotton bud up cat's bum" thread??? Pay attention next time, please! Grin
