I have passed this huge pile of these “worms” for months along an area of our freeway that is being widened. From the very first, they reminded me of a pile of worms and yesterday I finally had an opportunity to stop and take a picture or two.
This is what they are used for….

Ew. They remind me of something my dog leaves in the yard for me to pick up. ;-)
they are really weird looking...
Not very appetizing, the least we could say...
Well, I guess I'm just stupid because I still don't know what they are!
I remember them movie that song came from. It scared the crap out of me when I was little.
Gosh, what a pile of them! Apparently they're called "straw wattles" and are used for erosion control.
Thank you Diane! I didn't take the time to look them up. I did take an "in flight" shot of some of them along the freeway, but apparently I was driving a little fast. :)
Looks like the end-limit of a landing strip for itty-bitty airplanes.
