I bet it's not a bat, because bats only lay their "eggs" in women's hair. Heh!

I have to do a lot more nature watching and studying before I can even begin to guess what these things are. I'll go with TF23 because he/she always seems to know what he/she is talking about..at least it impresses me.

(PS. Apologies to Thingfish23 for not knowing if you are a he or a she...but, I can't tell from your picture. Heh!)

I am betting that Thingfish is correct. It makes sense, we have a lot of skippers around here.

Hey, welcome Nerd Boy. I just realized that was you. Thanks for commenting. Keep an eye out for bats...
