To not let DD back in her room tonight? Freaked out.... what is this?

[tastylancs]

DH just gone away for three days, otherwise he would talk me down I’m sure. But right now it’s just me and the DC and I’ve opened DDs room to discover this.... nest? Chrysalis? It’s about 5cm x 3cm. Help!

POKE IT

Any aroma from it OP? have you tried gently wafting?

Fuck me! NO! what if it snaps and farts at OP?

DS(10) says mound covered maggots (wtf?)!

What kind of alien ass snails do you people have in your garden?!

Op I think you need Doctor Who to deal with it.

Mould! Mould covered maggots FFS!

God I’d love it to be a snail. DH back Friday afternoon. Bugger it he’s been gone less than an hour

I'd make him come back!

Do you have any Van Helsings in your local phonebook, OP?

My 2 teens both said it's a tawny owl but at 5 x 3cm it's a matchbox owl. Really OP, it's quite small....I've plucked bigger bogeys of my kids face than that....grab a napkin.

We need a banana for scale

OP, you need a cat, volunteer or not.

Stick it in the room with the Thing. One of them will come out alive.

DS(13) says radioactive caterpillar (they've had an infestation at his school and he's obsessed)!

Please tell me the school is on Outer Mongolia.

Lost African Land Snail..... Somebody has dumped it in the garden.... And its ended up in your house...

Poke it with the banana. Hope no fangs poke out to devour same. Sorry not sorry

Maybe a lump of manky mould?

Nah I wouldn't be touching that, pack your bags!

Poke it!!

Can we call it Gerald? It seems less threatening as a Gerald!

Cocoon of giant moth or thousands of baby spiders. Marvellous!

That’s definately an alien, burn the house down. That thing is giving me the heebie- jeebies! 😱

@OliveOrTwist wish I could take the credit but it's an old thread on here... can't remember what about, but it's my go to phrase for everything now

@halfwitpicker
‘snapped and farted’ made this thread even funnier

Doobydoo the towel is rolled up at the bottom of the door - my logic was that it would stop the wasps or spiders from infiltrating the house.

Take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Looks like a snail to me. We’ve had them in the boy’s room before...similar sort of position, no visible trail.....

Poke it OP......POKE IT!

Sorry lads I've looked at loads of pictures of snails and even the big ones I've seen look like snails!!!! This does not look like any pictures I've seen, as for putting a cat or dog in there to investigate, how would they reach unless they can levitate
