Wonder if my HOA would get mad if I placed one of these at the entrance to the neighborhood and started charging a fee for all vehicles enter... 🤔

Spookiest decoration at the "Zoo Goes Boo" event at the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids? Giant model of parasitoid wasps hatching from cocoons affixed to their caterpillar host.

Large model of a green caterpillar, the back of which is covered by dozens of white cocoons. Wasps can be seen emerging from some of the cocoons.

My parents dug this treasure out recently. 🤣

I'm being hit with memories of when a friend from Germany mailed me a Christmas gift, which arrived months later, with a big stamp on the package. "Missent to Malaysia."
