On the train

An older man in a straw fedora and tweed jacket was reaching up to put his baggage away when I noticed a big something on the back of his jacket.  It looked like either a spider or a bumblebee.  I was quite horrified.  Then a woman came up with a glass case, said, "Excuse me, hold still," and brushed whatever it was into the case and clamped the lid.

What was it?  A piece of chocolate?  She went off immediately -- did she explain to the man what it was?  Is she always prepared for such events?
