mycroftismight: What is this?!
This is a thing I saw when I was walking the path to the River of Souls (that’s a literal translation of the name, dramatic right) in Pirenópolis, Brazil (the city/village I was staying in).
It just looks like it came directly from a Miyazaki movie.
These creatures that look like “caterpillars” are actually the larvae of Sawflies (Perreyia sp.), which are in the insect order Hymenoptera (which also includes ants, wasps, and bees). The larvae of some species in this genus sometimes moves along the forest floor as a mass, feeding on fallen leaves. It is not well understood why they do this. They are found in a few countries in the Amazon Basin of South America.
Videos of these have been going around the internet for awhile without identification or an explanation in English. I thought I’d provide one again, in brief :3

Fuck you Arallyn. Thanks to you I had a nightmare involving these weird fucks. LOTS AND LOTS OF THEM.
Thank you! I was having such a hard time before wondering about it!
CALM YOUR FURY, OH MIGHTY LORD! WHATEVER YOU MAY BE, GOD OR DEMON, PLEASE, LEAVE US IN PEACE!
^^^ Dis bitch is doing it so right.

My child, you have come to me my son. For who now is your father if it is not me? I am the well spring, from which you flow. When I am gone, you will have never been. What would your world be, without me? My son.
YOU WANT TO GO TO THE BAR LATER? MAYBE MEET SOME BABES?
I CAN’T. I HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW MORNING. SHELLY CALLED OFF.
UGH. THAT’S SO GAY.
IT’S HOMOSEXUAL THAT I HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW MORNING?
NO, I MEAN IT SUCKS.
BUT YOU DIDN’T SAY IT SUCKS. YOU SAID IT WAS GAY, WHICH MEANS HOMOSEXUAL. WHEN YOU USE THAT WORD TO DESCRIBE SOMETHING UNPLEASANT IT CARRIES THAT NEGATIVE CONNOTATION WITH IT, SO WHEN YOU USE THE WORD TO DESCRIBE SOMEONE WHO’S ACTUALLY GAY THEN PEOPLE ASSOCIATE THE NEGATIVE BIAS WITH BEING GAY, THUS PERPETUATING THE STIGMA THAT THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH HOMOSEXUALITY.
YEAH, DICKHEAD, EXCEPT THAT GOING TO WORK TOMORROW WON’T ACTUALLY CREATE SUCTION IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, UNLIKE, SAY, A VACUUM, AND FOR ALMOST 700 YEARS GAY MEANT CAREFREE AND LIVELY, OR COLORFUL AND SHOWY, NOT HOMOSEXUAL, SO PEACOCKS AND HAPPY PEOPLE COULD ARGUE AGAINST YOUR DEFINITION AS WELL. IT’S KIND OF LIKE HOW WHEN I CALL YOU A DICKHEAD FOR CORRECTING MY WAY OF SPEAKING I’M NOT ATTACHING A NEGATIVE BIAS TO THE TIP OF EVERY PENIS, EVEN THOUGH DICKHEAD LITERALLY HAS NO OTHER DEFINITION.
YOU’RE SUCH AN ASSHOLE SOMETIMES.
HONESTLY, PETE, I WISH YOU WOULDN’T PERPETUATE THE STIGMA OF SHAME THAT SURROUNDS DEFECATION AND THE ANUS BY NEGATIVELY CONNOTING ASSHOLES WITH PEOPLE YOU DISLIKE.
In this week’s issue, Sasha Frere-Jones writes about the darkest subgenre of heavy-metal music: black metal. Over a period of six years, the photographer Peter Beste documented the secretive, insular community of black-metal musicians and fans. Here’s a selection of his photos: http://nyr.kr/pfVFAY (read Frere-Jones’s piece here: http://nyr.kr/qcv406).
