mick2me 3,033 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Clearing out the shed I moved some books off one of the shelves. I noticed that there was a long woolly tube laid along the top of the pages of the book. There were a number of the books that had these. I then tried to move a cardboard box from the top of the shelves. It was well and truly fixed to the wooden side wall of the shed. When I got it off this is what I found, and each tube appears to be woven with silk, and contained a yellow grub? Anyone know what these are? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
