Name Those Eggs

[CrankyCarrot]

]Hi,

I don't know what these larvae thingies are, but I'd like to. They are all over the guesthouses I've seen in the South of Thailand. At first I thought they were mosquito nests or something, but they only propagate in still water, so that theory's out.

These things hang off the ceiling and on the walls, particularly in places that don't get much attention like behind desks and dressers.

See pic and see if you can ID them

Looks like Jing jok shit to me.

They're not eggs they are tiny cocoons and have a little worm inside them that comes out partially and crawls around dragging it's little cocoon all over. Beyond that I don't know what comes out of them once mature and would also be interested to know as we have them all over too..Probably some sort of moth..

You've got a big problem if your jingjoks are sh*tting moths.

Not quite; I've been wondering what those things are for years; just been too lazy to post like the OP; thanks and well done!

Our home is full of the little blighters. On the walls, on the windows, on the floor and some get in our beds, curtains and clothes.

Insect sprays don`t seem to work, normally have to use a vacuum cleaner to clear them off the walls. But within 24 hours they are all back again. And even using that method the things don`t go without a fight, they really do cling tightly on to the walls

I have noticed that these things do get caught up in curtains and seem to eat through the material. I have my doubts that these creatures are moth larvae, more like some sort of worm. They are flat and not easy to squash with the fly whacker.

200 house points for anyone who can tell us what these things are.

[CrankyCarrot]

Moth larvae. Well that's not so bad.

The prize? Ok, if you can find me in some backpacker joint or bar and you come and say "You are Cranky Carrot - where's my prize?" I'll buy you a beer Chang (small).

I didn't know what lepiodoptery or whatever was either. I feel whole now.

[CrankyCarrot]

Oh yeah, and what the hell are Jing Jocks?

[CrankyCarrot]

Hey Beetlejuice

You can remove them pretty quickly with a long piece of sticky tape.

Just rack em up by pressing it to the wall and removing. It's pretty quick and you can make a game of it with your partner to see who gets the most in 2 mins. Winner gets, err, a small beer chang, lol.

Then just chuck it out. Done.

Funny, I've never seen any of these moth larvae up at my place, but park the car out in the carport with the light on at night and you almost have to dig it out of jing jok shit in the morning.

[Kwasaki]

Interesting but I always have thought they were spider storage wrappings.

Thank you for that, Moonrakers, mystery solved.

Gecko's to the rest of us, or Scotsmen that tell teh truth maybe..

I thought it was a gay Scotsman.

I think Jing is in a bad mood over the yank thread already, I' m off for a beer.

[CrankyCarrot]

Jing Jocks - oh yeah, I know those lil guys.

They sure can move, and s--t apparently...

[Xircal]

They might hang around on the OP's walls, but if you ever head up to Isaan, you'll probably find them on the dinner plate some days.

[sharecropper]

They are clothes moth larvae and when they turn into moths they will eat your clothes voraciously, or so I was told when I sent this photo of one I found in my condo this week, to someone who knows.....

[CrankyCarrot]

Well, glad that's cleared that up. I'll take moths over mozzies any day. Got my 50% DEET on now though...

Not as fast as my cat apparently. No jingjong, no poop.
