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!

Sorry just seen size, from the pic it looks much bigger!!

I am wondering if it is a Death Watch Beetle assuming a kind of impressive yoga pose.....legs tucked under, just hanging on by its mandibles!
Get a Tupperware or large jar and a piece of card....cover and slide.

Loving this thread!!! dont go asking Chris Packham too quickly or fun will be over!

I have put in a google image search

Came up as being an igneous rock!

It's probably not correct!

Looks like some kind of snail cocoon or something.

Roman snail looks like George Clooney compared to my guest. Definitely not sadly.

This thread is reminding me of the poster who though she'd found drugs in her sons room and was instantly advised to "lick it". Any chance it's a smint OP?

One of my all time favourites.

Can't see the second and third pictures.

But the first picture is hideous.

Scoose · 20/06/2018 19:16

Looks like a spiders nest to me

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 20/06/2018 19:16

That is so not a snail.

Are you still alive OP?

halfwitpicker · 20/06/2018 19:16

Namethecat · 20/06/2018 19:16

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 20/06/2018 19:17

73kittycat73 · 20/06/2018 19:17

Can't see 2nd and 3rd picture either. Could someone that can see them repost them please? I think it has something to do with the 'phone app.

clippityclock · 20/06/2018 19:17

Its a moth thats asleep. Just move it.

Effendi · 20/06/2018 19:17

I laughed so much at 'omfg it's got a face ' and the coughed up hairbally snail stuck to the loo pan.

Mia184 · 20/06/2018 19:19

Don’t snail usually leave a sticky, slimy trail? BTW, I can also only see one picture.

Another vote for fuck-ugly snail here.

You need to poke it, OP. You can’t just leave us hanging. Grin

Mia184 · 20/06/2018 19:20

*snails! 🐌

PippilottaLongstocking · 20/06/2018 19:20

Hopefully this picture will work and show why I think it’s a snail!

Snail! You can see it stuck to the wall. Pick it off.

DrDoMore · 20/06/2018 19:21

What’s sticking out of it on the right hand side? Hair? Feelers?! Or is it a mark on the wall?
