A woman spotted what looked like a rope in her garden—until she got closer. “What if it’s a snake?!” she panicked. But it wasn’t a rope or a snake. “I eventually counted the 150 or more caterpillars” moving in a straight line. Packed tightly, they seemed to follow an invisible leader. “Not even in my own garden did I realise this was feasible!” She wondered if this behavior helps them avoid predators or save energy.

Meanwhile, another shocking event occurred during a dinner. A woman froze mid-bite after noticing something strange in her salad. “Do you see that?” she asked. At first, they thought the tiny black specks were chia seeds—but they were moving. “They’re moving, you see?” Turned out, they were likely insect eggs.

They rushed to the hospital. “We didn’t know if we had eaten any of the eggs or what critter had placed them.” Tests were run, and they were told to monitor symptoms. The restaurant blamed a “technical error” and “spoiled ingredients from a supplier,” but that didn’t help.

Ever since, she says, “Every time I see chia seeds – I remember that night.” What started as a normal day turned into unforgettable horror.
