WTF?!

Cobweb Hedge


I was out for a drive last Sunday morning, when I saw that some sections of the hedges appeared to be haunted. Being the nosey type I had to stop for a closer look. What I discovered was: a thick layer of (what looks like) cobweb on the pegwood hedges. The cobweb was absolutely crawling with black maggoty things. It was gross! I've lived in the countryside all of my life but I've never seen anything like this before and neither has anybody else I've asked. So now I'm really curious. This is only effecting the pegwood/spindlewood sections of the hedges. So far I've only seen it on the back roads of South Tipperary. I really want to get more information and Google has let me down on this one. 

So if you know please leave me a comment!
