Threads of Music I

While visiting a dig site that he was funding, Cecil found many unique insects in an underground portion of the excavated structure. Most of the insects were milling about in the dirt near the newly exposed opening, but one rather odd insect kept circling a nail in a board protruding out of the ground.

Cecil continued watching this insect for some time. Then, as an experiment, Cecil tried to entice the insect away by moving it several feet from the nail. However, the strange insect always returned to the nail, no matter the distance or direction Cecil placed between the two. Cecil also tried to distract the insect with other objects and pieces of metal, but this strange insect took no notice.

Will you bring Cecil some nails? Perhaps the insect is attracted to the combination of shape and material that a nail presents, and Cecil can draw it away with another random nail.
