  1. This is fascinating! I can’t wait to read this with my daughter this morning. The way they grow is both stunning and creepy. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Yay. I am so happy to find that others are as fascinated by these creatures as I am. My neighbors probably thought I was a little touched as I went and peered in gaps on tree limbs. Ah, whatever. 🙂
