Archibald You must be quackers!  More info | Jul 06, 2022 08:38 | #1 On my outing here in Ottawa yesterday, I saw several odd bundles of little sticks firmly attached to leaves. I'm wondering what they are and who made them. Any ideas?  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Did you poke one? Did it move or was it just sticks? Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Did it move or was it just sticks? Yes, I poked at one. Not knowing what to expect, I just poked with a leaf, and was a bit careful. The bundle didn't come off. I suppose I could have torn it off if I had held onto the leaf it was on, but I didn't do that. Canon R5 and R7, Canon 90D, assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100
