GUEST,Cookieless Rapaire Folklore: Of Treacle Mines, Ice Worms and ??? (43) RE: Folklore: Of Treacle Mines, Ice Worms and ??? 04 Sep 03


Out here in Idaho they grow potatoes, lentils, and other things. The fields are full of sagebrush, and tumbleweeds can be seen rolling across the open spaces.

Along the fences can be seen the fruits of the bagworms. These are not
webworms
as they are generally thought of, but a still-undiscovered species that spin literal plastic bags as nests. These bags break away from the trees and are blown willy-nilly and hither and yon, finally coming to rest in fences.

The worms which create the bags are thought to have been mutated by Canadian atomic bomb testing during the 1950s.
