This morning, just after I woke up and was still lying in bed, I spotted a few small round balls on the sheet.
At first, I had no idea what they were, but when I looked more closely, I froze – I was scared.
My first thought was that they were insect eggs. So small and neat, like they had been consciously placed there.Without wasting time, I asked friends for advice and searched online to figure out what I was dealing with. Soon I found out they were stink bug eggs.
I was completely surprised – I couldn’t understand how they ended up in my bed. My home is clean and I take good care of it.
The only thing I could think of was that my dog might have accidentally brought them in from a walk.
Realizing how serious it could be, I made an appointment with a doctor to examine my health and make sure I hadn’t been bitten or infected.Luckily, everything turned out to be fine. I’m so relieved I noticed the eggs early and worked quickly – otherwise, it could have been much worse.
Now I scan everything carefully and clean regularly to make sure this unpleasant situation doesn’t happen again.
This whole experience taught me a lesson – you must always stay calm and never neglect even the smallest suspicious signs.
In my yard, I explored something very strange.
At first glance, it appeared to be a long, winding rope laying on the grass, as if it had been dropped on purpose. But then I thought, “What if it’s a snake?!” My heart began racing.
I immediately grabbed my phone, took a photo, and, pumped up, began to approach. Every step felt stiff; the thought of something harmful was horrible.
When I got close enough to look, I was beaten with horror. There wasn’t a rope. It was not a snake, either. In front of me crawled a slow-moving column of roughly 150 caterpillars, which I finally counted!
They moved in a straight line, densely loaded together, as if guided by an invisible leader. I had no idea this was possible, let alone in my own yard!
Where were they heading? Why are there so many? These questions refuse to leave my head. Some feel that moving caterpillars in groups can hinder predators. Perhaps they look for food more easily that way.
Perhaps it’s a strategy to save energy: the ones in advance clear the path, so the ones in back don’t have to work as hard. Do you know where they came from or where they were going?
