I found this alien like critter on my RdB. I wish they came in bigger sizes, to ward of those darn pesky crows!!! __________________ Zone 8 So Cal desert Wishlist- Rouge de Bordeaux, Fig de Parfum, St. Rita, Pastiliere, Norland, Smith, (Native) du Argentile, Col de Dame Noir,

It is always great to see one of those in the garden. Hopefully, he'll eat a lot.

Great pic. I had one last year on one of my trees. Funny thing. I would see him in almost the same exact spot every morning on one of the upper branches. Haven't seen one yet this year. (I can hope). __________________ Dave Verde Valley, AZ Zone 8

Yeah we would get egg cases too and keep them in a mesh net until they hatch, then my son puts them on his hand and distributes them all around the yard. This spring I found a couple egg cases in the yard so I guess they have naturalized. Saw a couple babies earlier but not any adults
