Imagine the surprise on your daughter's face when she opens up her new Fingerlings, and a few dozen bugs come rolling out of the wrapping paper. Ewww! If you've got a real tree, you might have 20,000 bugs hidden in there, but there is something you can do about it.

If you've noticed more caterpillars than usual this spring, you're not losing your mind. They're everywhere! And if you stand under a tree, that powdery substance around your shirt collar may be caterpillar droppings.  Gross.

Mantispidae, known commonly as mantidflies are scary looking little insects that look like a cross between a wasp and a praying mantis. The guy in this video is a braver soul than me, because if I had seen that sucker, I would have moved out of my house for a week and called in some sort of air strike on my yard...
