I've just enjoyed a really nice drive into north London in my Morgan to pick up a friends daughter from work. Sun was still out, it was still mild and the roads were clear. Nice.
I got to where I was going, parked, slung my flying jacket under my arm and headed to where we had arranged to meet. On the way I noticed something on the collar of my coat. I flicked it thinking it was just some dust or something then I noticed something darker tucked in the fluff. As I pushed it out I discovered it was the bloody case of some insect young! And as I pushed the bloody thing burst and left a load of horrible green Goo on my collar.
Disgusting!

It's certainly a kind of tropical worm But If it was in the fluff, it could be something else Does it look like this? :

you were lucky- it was a peugeotworm, which infests the clothing of morgan owners,and then enters via the victims ear,beyond which point, the higher brain centres become involved, thus causing the hapless victim to sell the moggy,then gain a wife and kids as well as purchasing a nice Peugeot family saloon!
The end result is a slow lingering death due to terminal boredom, whilst all the time wondering 'what have I done and why did I do it?'
The cure?..................you know the answer...........

nothing matters very much, and hardly anything matters at all.
