All over campus these ugly bugs are dropping in my hair and on my clothes. It has been going on for over a week. I am constantly flinging them off. I’m starting to feel ghost bugs on me. I think I feel something crawling on me but when I look there is nothing there.
When I walk outside I can hear them munching on leaves in the trees above. When they have their full, they rappel down on a thin, silky line or they just drop on me. I think they look like sweater clad earwigs. The paper says these bungee jumping caterpillars are the prelude to the oak moth and tussock moth. I am not looking forward to the moths to come.

What do you do on campus? Professor?
The cocoons are all over our building and now a number of the moths have started hatching...
On my walk to the the Caltrain station I get attacked by the occasional swarm.
