My cat was next to me as I was taking the picture making this low cackling sound. He does that when he watches the birds feeding on the berries out the window. He's already in position for this morning's coming bird activity out the window.
Is that anywhere close to a pink toed tarantula sack? Go to sleep wake up the next morn owning the worlds largest pink toed collection in the world. Lady at the pet store gave her to me free including a nice aquarium because she would rather get rid of them than make a few bucks. Said they "creeped her out". Didn't see the little nest in the corner hidden by a piece of bark. I think she knew what was coming and the joke was on me!
Yeah, IDK? They're a about 3 more on the 2x4's overhead. They are always underneath facing it ground. The little bird was going after what ever it was on the inside of this pod thing. You bring up another point about life within a Virginia creeper and that being the Preying Mantis hanging out within it to ambush other insects. I took this picture of one a couple of years ago out in the backyard. I was going for the 1950's Sci Fi effect of this creature of horror. I should have put a plastic Army man in the shot.
. When I told the better half, she said " I wonder if that's why I found a few feathers and a beak in the yard last week?". She had assumed one of the neighborhood cats had done it in.
