  1. Is that actual wool? How cool! Posted one year ago
    1. It’s actually plant fibers from wooly leaved things like lambs ears - they have big jaws that they use to scrape it off Posted one year ago, modified one year ago
      1. Cool, sounds a bit like our pet European hornet. Lives in a hole in our outside wall and all day long it flies to a bird feeding platform that has a roof made of dry reed, collecting parts from it. Posted one year ago
