I was looking in my pantry for something when I came across this jar… normally I would have ignored this jar because it wasn’t what I was looking for, but something about this jar caught my eye, it was a bit “off” so I investigated further. When I picked it up and looked at it closely, it seemed that the contents were “wiggling”
That’s when I discovered that I have a jar full of live worms…. Not actual worms mind you, not the kind that you find on the sidewalks after its been raining, but the maggot type worm… it looks like the larvae of some winged insect… I think it’s moth larvae.
This past summer I’ve been having a moth problem in my house, I’ve tried moth ball cedar chips, bug bomb’s etc all without much success, all of this summer my place have been overrun with moths, eating holes in my clothes and being a general nuisance. This all stopped a few months ago, and I had no idea why.
Then I found the jar…
This disgusting jar…
I have no idea how a pregnant moth got into a closed jar, and at this point I have no idea what was in the jar, but as you can see now, it’s just full of worms.
When I took the top off to take this picture the worms all seemed to go into a frenzy, I think they knew the top was open and their freedom was to be had, so they were all trying to climb out, some of them were literally climbing over each other…. But then I put the lid back on… tightly… which dashed their hopes for freedom so they settled down
I was just going to throw away the jar, but then it occurred to me that this might be of some use to somebody… maybe a science experiment about how these larvae have created some sort of self sustaining eco-system within the confines of this old jar of jelly, or someone might want to film it for a student horror film or maybe your one of those pro-life people who believe that these larvae have a right to life… whatever the case maybe if you want it, come and get it, you have until garbage day.
