If you ever wondered how it looks like when your car is transformed into soil then, you could find some answers to your questions here.

I am sure that unfortunate owners of those cars were very surprised when they came back after a few days and found their cars almost transformed into soil by a bunch of weird worms. Next time they will care more where they left their car and how long

Bizarre Lives of Bone-Eating WormsIt sounds like a classic horror story -- eyeless, mouthless worms lurk in the dark, settling onto dead animals and sending out green "roots" to devour their bones. In fact, su

This happened to a tree near where i live, in Denmark. It had covered the whole tree and eaten all the leaves, leaving only twitching larvae behind, and continued to take over the bus stop besides it and creeping out over the sidewalk and onto the road.
Glad my car doesn’t look like that, I think i would set it a fire if it did.
Thats not dirt or soil, its webs. And they arnt worms, they’re catapillars. Where i live they spin massive cocoons in trees and cover the whole thing. usually we keep them under control by not letting it spread and kill the tree, but if left unchecked they just go everywhere until they transform into butterflys. so the cars are fine, just disgusting and webby.
That’s really turning a vehicle into soil… <_<.
They are a type of catepillar.
Those are called “tent caterpillars” where I lived in Virginia, USA. The only (and the most entertaining) solution is a flamethrower.
we had it once where i live (The Netherland)
it was in the news for days xD
pretty weird though.
everything covered in webs, and bugs…
I live in denmark too
This is so creepy, I really don’t like worms, and hope this will never ever happen somewhere near me.
yeah i’ve seen these catapillers. kates comment hit it right on the spot.
hmmm…, do these worms live in the Philippines also?
This is in Holland, not Denmark. Check licenseplates. And no, I’m not denying your having the same problem, I’m just stating facts, for which the internet is obviously the best medium.
Those are gypsy moth caterpillars.. they’re a big nuisance in the USA. They like to climb as high as they can get, so if you tie burlap fabric around a tree with the top third folded over, they get stuck in the fold (trap). Then you can take the burlap off and set it on fire =}
This happened to our cars in Virginia creepy !! You can hear them eating the trees too. They seem to like the tires in the early morning.lol
“Wird worms”? wtf ever heard of tent caterpillars?
Hey, this is near my house.. cool:D
I saw those worms in many places in USA (i.e in Grand Canyon and on Sandy Hook NJ) when I was there but, it seems nobody cares about
In the Netherlands we cald them “Prosessierups” (dutch)
their going to be beautiful butterflies let nature do it’s thing the reason they have migrated to vehicles and such is because a lot of trees are being cut down and forest are being cleared out for condos and apt complexs and shopping centers so they are running out of wilderness too do what come natural to them
Oh shut-up Tresie, “They’re” not going to ever turn into butterflies but in fact ugly uncaring moths who will just annoy us all by flying into lights and dying in agony. And by the way, they haven’t “migrated” to vehicles, they aren’t birds with that kind of sense. I am glad you help these “beautiful butterflies” by not living under an actual roof (because then you’d be a hypocrite and not part of the problem like the rest of us).
Boo on you, go eat some ice cream that just to be produced likely caused a lot more natural waste then you know of.
They are common tent caterpillars, found in many places in the world. LOL worms… you’re a worm.
I’ve seen these caterpillars before in little patches in trees. But I never knew they would or even could take it to this level! Its impressive. There must be like 80lbs of little caterpillar turds on the ground after pulling that mess off.
This is totaly photoshop, fake or some factsimaly there of.
Caterpillars indeed. Don’t quite know wich species. And as to everyone referring to them as “worms” I hope to god you’re not as stupid as you sound.
They might turn into butterflies but quite possible moths too. And yes moths can be beautifull aswell. The trees behind the car are probablye (looking at the bark and hanging branches) willow trees. As for the caterpillar. It’s probably the larvae of the spindle ermine (Yponomeuta cagnagella) or another ermine moth.
Oh and Donny, you are quite shortsighted. You are an ugly and uncaring person. Don’t suppose we need to get rid of you now?
what is inside my mind is , ” wow , worms eat a car ” ,
actually those look like meal worms. they sell them at petco, my lizard eats them. wanna screw someones life up? buy a shitload and let them loose on ther car lol….not certian on species tho
those are called tent caterpillars. I live in WA, US and they’re everywhere a few months out of the year
