| Worms!
Those little green worm larvae hanging from trees have been sticking to my clothes, hair, and cars every time I come home. Feel like a ninja trying to see and dodge them. Fuck it's so annoying. Does anyone know what I am talking about? What are they?  |

They're hoping to land near your ears so they can crawl in, and nibble your brains.

They're harmless. They feed on the tree leaves and in the fall, bury themselves under the soil where they go through metamorphosis and emerge in the spring as moths.

If it's the same little bugs I'm thinking about, if they land on your car they'll cocoon on it. Scraping them off isn't fun.
