I posted this on our FL forum and it was suggested I post here to see if anyone knows or has had this problem before.

6/15
When we arrived home I looked out the window and one of the brugs looked as though it had been decorated as it had streamer type things all over it . On a closer look these strings are living . I did get a couple of pictures but haven't taken them off the camera yet. But it was yukky. Anyway said brug was dragged off the pool deck by DH and banished to the great outdoors.Later it had blown over and I said it can stay there until tommorow and then hopefully all those things will have either washed off in the rain or have taken a hike!!


6/16 It was wierd, I mentioned in the last thread about the living streamers on that brug and how we banished it outside the pool cage and when I looked at it last night it was almost leafless, the leaves had dropped and were all browned and floppy. Have taken a couple of pictures in case anyone knows what caused the roblem. It looked great one day and then poof within 24 hours :(

My camera wouldn't pick out the little bugs that made up the streamers but here is the first pic, following pictures show the leaves and Jax suggested that maybe the sun and nothing to do with the bugs. That is probably right as although they are in the same sun area the pool screen may have protected the leaves before.
