Wait, what, what??? I don't know the story about them flying up or stepping on them and them jumping up. ??

I do know the story about them being parasitized tho. :( My husband dug up a cocoon and we put it in a little bug hut to see what it was. I forgot about it, then a few days later I smelled something dead and nasty and saw that it had broken open and these NASTY worm things were coming out of the cocoon!!! BBBBLECH!!! It was so gross so I just put it on the side of the house so I wouldn't smell it, then later I saw that fire ants were attacking the worms! More blech! But I was rewarded recently with a visitor.
