Graveyard trees with Sign

Today, 19th June 2010, Mrs Monk commanded me before breakfast to visit a Graveyard on the basis of what she had learnt at 4 AM on BBC East News, which discussed a phenomena, that had transformed the look of the Southend Grave Yard. Apparently, avenues of trees and even some graves had been overwhelmed by a parasite.

 

And so, before breakfast we checked out the BBC story, paid a visit and took these pictures. I understand that moths have been at work and created this strange macabre, other-world. Trees and graves have been wrapped, in a "silk" provided by "worms" The "silk" has the stretching quality and consistency of latex, apparently defying any notion that it might be an organic phenomena. It is in fact, more like a Marigold rubber glove, than organic natural silk.

 

Consequently the trees have been suffocated and in mid June they are now ghostly, and free of organic green foliage.
