OK, what the hell is that?
This is one of the freakiest things I’ve ever seen. And I have no idea what it is – does anyone out there know?
If I had to guess, I’d say it’s one of the following:
- A Photoshop job (or some other hoax – maybe it looked like that but didn’t move, in which case it could be a dead snake being eaten by worms or something.)
- Some weird communal worm, although I’ve never heard of anything like that.
- Something snake-like carrying it’s young
- Something snake-like being attacked by parasites

no photoshopping, i swear! still have no clue what the hell it is!
I hear that they might be pine sawflies, migrating.
It looks like migrating sawfly larvae to me; I can’t see well enough to say for sure what kind.
Thanks both of you – it’s good to get an answer. I was pretty much prepared to mark it down as one of those things I’ll never know…
