A HUGE thank you to all who responded to my plea for help. With Meena Haribal's help, we decided that we have grass-carrying wasps packing nesting material in my windows and bringing Drumming Katydid nymphs which make an instant food source for their larvae when they hatch. I found this all amazing. If you'd like more info, take a look at this blog, which has a full explanation: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2012/07/03/paralyzed-ensiferan-nymphs-found-in-n est/ Again, my thanks to all, Mona Bearor So Glens Falls, NY

The little guys get in the track of the screens on my windows and leave an egg case (I guess, it's a brown papery thingy), which hatch to a small lime green nymph-like creature with wings. Very intriguing.. Can send a photo off list to anyone who would like to reply to me privately at conservebirds AT gmail.com Mona Bearor So Glens Falls, NY -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
