August 3, 2009
Hi guys!

July 31, 2009
Hi,
I keep finding these egg balls under an oak tree in my yard. Can you tell me what comes out of these? (The second picture shows their exits.) The wall material is paper thin and very brittle. They are about the size of a golf ball, beige, and bumpy.
Thank you.
Todd Shinn
