Under a giant silk cocoon created by an army of caterpillars, the shape of a Honda is just about visible. The car was mistaken as food by spindle ermine larvae, which had already begun to strip a nearby tree of its leaves. Spindle ermines weave silk webs to
protect themselves from birds and wasps, allowing them to gorge on
leaves for six weeks before transforming into butterflies. Their favored tree is the spindle - which is often used in car parks and for lining motorways.
