A body-horror-tinged psychological thriller that uses insects and intimate lesbian connection as vehicles for exploring desire, isolation, and the blurring of attraction and violation.

A shy entomologist named Ida—whose girlfriend has left her, due to her interest in insects—develops a crush on a strange girl, Misty. After Ida receives a mysterious insect in the mail, the two women spend the night together, and Ida awakens to find that Misty has stumbled upon her insect collection and has a great interest in them herself.
