Clears up the 'mystery' behind this 'creature' dreaded by all modellers.

That explains a lot!!!!!
My model room must have an infestation of these things. That would account for many a "lost" 1:144 707 nose wheels, HF antennas, and engine fans.

LMFAO that's gold

Those little bastards! I do know if I haven't found the dropped part in 2-3 minutes, it's gone for good. I do think I have some of those little shites living behind my airbrush compressor under the desk -

This I understand is the only known photo of this creature - caught right in the act!

That explains a lot,
as my modeling room doesn't have carpet, and only this week I was working on my Mirage droptanks, trying to make a couple Israeli ones where you need to move the tiny pylon, so duly cut one off, and it fell to the floor, and has totally disappeared, so cut another one of and carefully put it on the table, but 10 minutes later it too had disappeared.
