I did that once, to a silk egg sac, I think.  It was horrifying.  I just
turned and walked away; I couldn't stand the sight.  Thinking about it

pouring out of the ground.

After a campus building was fumigated, roaches were crawling EVERYWHERE
(trying to escape?).  I didn't go back in that building for weeks.
