So…does the vacuum chrysalis yield a bigger vacuum (like a snake shedding its skin) or does it become some other kind of appliance altogether (once a vacuum, now an espresso machine!)?

And what are those other little white blobs on the lawn?

Hi-larious.

This is something I’d do for entertainment. Despite living in the same place for > 10 years, I really don’t interact with my neighbors beyond occasionally signing or getting signed the little “I acknowledge [insert name here] is going to do something to their property [like a new roof]” form the homeowner association requires.

It’s primarily from a lack of having anything obvious in common other than we share adjacent property. They seem to tolerate my eccentricities :)
