The perforation plate of an Ephedra torreyana vessel. The perforations are circular and bordered, quite different from the scalariform pattern basic to the pattern in flowering plants.

The perforation plate of Ephedra kokanica consists of perforations relatively large for the genus.

The wood of Gnetum gnemon mostly has vessels with large simple perforation plates, but smaller vessels, like this one, viewed with SEM, can have perforation plates composed of numerous perforations like those of Ephedra.

thing is, when you post pictures of groups of insects, worms, whatever ― even if they're hairy ― and have no problem at all with complex perforation patterns in man-made material, i wonder whether your fascination really has anything to do with the fear of holes, per se.
it sounds more like you're grossed out by a sort of insectile complexity. human beings (some say) are biologically programmed to be repulsed by things that are insect or snake-like, though we all experience these sensations differently.

"meh" is an interjection usually conveying indifference or disappointment.
"How was the movie?""Meh."
buzza's phrase "the meh toe" was likely an ironic counterpoint to your explanation regarding the "great" toe.

i mean, if the issue really were a crippling fear of weird natural patterns, i'd think you'd be far more horrified by something like this than any old garden-variety bug wad, or some guy with clothespins on his face.

i mean, most non-phobic people are grossed out by bugs, skin rot and wound patterns...

i mean
I understand what you're saying, but a lot of insects have repetitive patterns or clusters, which is part of trypophobia. Michael White posted that octopus, which contains no holes, but contains a repetitive pattern. If you go further up on this page, there are pictures of people with melted faces, a zombie being hit by a car and his crud splashing the windshield, and a cat with no face, which are not trypophobic. There's also a picture of Al Gore.

The clothespins on the guy's face would be considered a cluster.
