Danae

May 19, 2000

Found the weirdest thing this morning.  It was some kind of insect or caterpillar??  It was pretty much exactly 1 mm long and it looked like a small piece of dirt.

But the dirt was actually a shell that it was dragging with it.  It had a hard look to its body which was smooth and tan and black.  When it would reach as far out of its shell as it could I could see three pairs of legs.  It was also leaving some kind of thread from the upper part of its body - that acted like a rope if he was thrown around and it was sticky - but I don't know what it was for and I barely got a glance at the very thin (thinner than a strand of hair) piece of thread.
