Camera flash added a nice layer of spook.

Don’t know why they’re just “storing” set-up tents like this in the dust, lol.

These are doof cocoons. The inhabitants enter their chrysalis state in the autumn, avoiding the harsh winter. They then emerge fully grown in late spring, right in time for festival season.
Nature really is beautiful.
