tree question
We're FL natives on vacation in NC, where we occassionally see large,
tightly wound cobwebs on branches in trees. What insect or creature creates these cobwebs? |

And amazingly some folks actually bought them. I think we asked maybe two cents apiece- just enough for ice cream money. I can't imagine that many children would be met with such willing door answerers nowadays! -- Toni South Florida USA Zone 10b http://ww.cearbhaill.com |

When I was a kid we tried to sell Buckeyes. Once they started falling it was a race to see who could gather the most. I only remember one person buying them though. And I never could make holes in them to thread them. Bet I was the only girl on our street without a necklace. Jean Zone 5 OH Go Tribe! |
