Nuke from orbit?

Yaayuh! · 19 Sep 2018 at 15:04

Found this sort of egg sack/nest thing outside by my back door. Anybody know what's going to spawn and inevitably devour me in my sleep?

Edit: Looks like Vapourer Moth eggs. Source: http://abugblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-weird-and-wonderful-vapourer-moth.html

No fire required.

Looks ******* evil. Declare war.

I'm not sure that orbit is far enough away to be safe.

What the hell are they!!!

If they’re spider eggs, they’re freaking huge! This is a highly worrying turn of events.

I hope you've abandoned that house already?

Thats an emporer wasp nest, they grow up to a foot long and have been known to eat ponies, deers and small children up to the age of 15.

I'm in the UK and it has been very mild recently. Low 20s, so would expect all creepy crawlies are still about?

Think it might be some kind of caterpillar as you can see his hairs sticking out the web.

Although Tarantulas are pretty hairy too so...best of luck =p

Bit worrying some of the eggs have already hatched

Let's not be too hasty. What if there's a horrible arachnid that's attracted by these eggs, and it then turns to humans once the egg supply is depleted?

They're actually rampaging dark terror insanity mutilation spider eggs, native of the deepest darkest hole in all of hell each egg actually hatches a minimum of 6 young which all share a hive mind. While attacking their prey the swarm injecting copious amounts of venom that sends their victims into a paralytic state save for the psychotic screaming induced by the worst and most horrific hallucinations drawn from the very depths of the individuals soul. Upon death the spiders hibernate inside the corpse. Eventually merging into one adult.

These adults are roughly the size of a small person however they now sport adamantium hides and a desire to watch Jeremy Kyle, those who attempt to stop it are bitten with a venom thats now evolved to turn the person into a complete chav so offers no resistance. Death takes years but is unavoidable.

I know cause my dad used to kill them for a living....

(Damn I'm bored)

it looks more like an offering to k'hraahj the unending to me, you could leave it alone or face living your life under a stare that will flay your soul slowly over a period of 769 and 1/4 days leaving you an empty husk doomed to walk the earth never quite knowing the reason for it's suffering.

personally i'd say fire, then sell my soul to chtulu before k'hraahj can get it, at least chtulu has a nice pension plan for his followers.

Cute eggs, look like albino acorns.
