Honda's Civic that was taken in by the larva's thread



It seems that a car that has been taken in by the larva's thread and has become like a cocoon as a whole has been found in Rotterdam.

To be in such a state, I think that the car was neglected to a certain extent, but when the owner comes back it seems to be considerably shocked.

Details are as below. Please note that people who hate insects because they have shocking images.

It seems like the whole car is frozen white as I look from afar.


However, if you look closely it is black spots on the whole. An insect causing the white spot of this black spot.


Civic is stuck on the ground with threads.

It is terrible even if I see it from behind.


It is a moth larva called Spindle Ermine that is clinging to the car, and he seems to like the tree of the genus Pinuschua which is often used for parking lots. 6 weeks before moulting 6 weeks ago to make a cocoon with thread to protect themselves from birds and other predators, get the food inside, the cocoon of thread by Spindle Ermine is completed in 2 ~ 3 days. It seems that this car got misunderstood as a food near a tree and became like the above.
