ForCee’s FOTD
When I reached into this cluster of assorted succulents and grabbed this dried leaf to pull it from the branch, it wriggled in my fingers and pulled away from me. Only then did I realize that it was a cocoon! I forgot to check it again today, but there was certainly evidence of life within it yesterday. Yes, of course I left it. Curious to see what emerges, if I’m lucky enough to observe it.
Post Script: Unfortunately, I waited too long. I actually took that photo on Dec. 30. Went out today (Jan. 3) to inspect it and it was gone. Not one evidence of anything every being there. I searched all the remaining plants that I could see and nada. Brian thinks it was a Case Moth or Bag Worm, and I think he is correct. Guess we’ll never know for sure, though. So sorry that I didn’t keep better track of it.

These flowers, much magnified, are tiny blooms on a succulent that is not the bright green leaf pictured in the foreground. Because Sam is always interested in knowing the true size of the flower and what plant it is from, I’ve taken two more photos with my hand as a reference re/ size and touching the leaf that belongs to the plant the flowers are part of.
