Looks like a bunch of seedpods on a flower stalk. Very cool!

That is the ooth? I thought it was a dried stem they were sitting on! Truly amazing work and great camouflage.

They must hang down on a thread as they hatch, don't they? The photo makes it look like they just appeared on the surface, fully-formed.

Congratulations! unk:
