Shell, I don't even know if our small town even has a local extension service office. I will check.

Now I have 3 of those things on my papaya. They just show up out of no where. lol I check out there about 3 times a day.

Also, I have 2 caterpillars eating a couple of leaves that I don't know what they are either.
They are not close to the cocoon looking things, and I don't think they have anything to do with them. But, I don't know that for a fact. I need to find out what they are also.

Here is a picture of what they look like. The cat has a lil horn thingy on him, also. And then, I will show you the picture of one of the cocoon things with what looks like a piece of dead bug hanging halfway out of it.

A little tiny spider has made a home in one of the cocoons. He's about as big as a knat. lol : )
