I came across something truly strange in my yard. At first glance, it looked like a long, winding rope lying in the grass, almost as if someone had placed it there intentionally.Then a chilling thought struck me: “What if it’s a snake?!” My heart began to race.
I quickly grabbed my phone, snapped a photo, and—adrenaline pumping—started to move closer. Each step felt tense and uncertain; the idea that it might be something dangerous was terrifying.But as I got close enough to see clearly, I was hit with shock.
It wasn’t a rope. And it wasn’t a snake either. What lay before me was a slow-moving column of approximately 150 caterpillars, which I eventually counted!They were crawling in a perfectly straight line, tightly grouped together, as if following an invisible leader. I had no idea such behavior existed—especially not right in my own yard.
