Demystifying Found Objects with the Help of the Internet

Little White Specks

Time and again, the creepy clandestine lives of bugs never cease to surprise us. Such a well-organized row of specks can only be the genius work of an insect, but as impressive as it looks, I’m guessing none of us would want to see these lacy strings anywhere around our house. Just ask the guy who uploaded this picture to Reddit, the response he got was unsettling.

These are, in fact, “Lacewing eggs,” and it takes them 4 to 5 days to hatch, after which they release a nasty looking insect with rough skin and a fierce jaw. It’s one thing to see them growing out in the garden but finding them on your furniture just waiting to hatch is pretty repulsive.
