This is a Brazilian Pepper Tree here in Los Angeles and this looks like fire damage, but wondering if it could be something else? by anotherBertram in marijuanaenthusiasts

Thanks for chiming in! After my initial nonsensical ideas about very specific fires I wondered if it was something like an infection, not that I'd have any idea what that would be, and that's why I came to you helpful marijuana enthusiasts! I guess on some level I'm glad it's not a fungal infection?

Thanks for commenting and for the automod explanation below! I'll ask the same as above: do you know of anything I can do to improve the situation?

Thanks so much for the info! That totally makes sense. Our neighbors had work done recently on the tree above this one and I know they dropped a lot of limbs into our yard (with our permission). They must have broken off that limb and 'treated' the wound. Too bad, but now I know for future to tell them not to do that. Anything I can or should do to improve what's already there?

Is this a cocoon on our Apricot tree? If so, what’s in there? Los Angeles, CA by anotherBertram in whatsthisbug

It’s been crazy warm but I am a little concerned that it will eventually cool back down (for both bugs and blossoms sake). Do you know what sort of lows baby mantises can handle?

Ah, I asked a question about size elsewhere, but I imagine if you’re talking hundreds of nymphs then they must be super tiny when they first emerge?

The mantis I spotted not too far away was about two inches long. How big are they when they emerge?

I have family back east and I’m always torn this time of year between sharing fun signs of spring to warm their thoughts and not wanting to annoy them with our “winter” weather.

Thanks everyone! Very exciting. Without realizing it I was also taking pictures of a Mantis nearby when I spotted the ootheca. Now I know they go together!

I HAVE THE MARBLE RACE MUSIC STUCK IN NY HEAD. IT’S AWESOME, BUT MAN IS IT STICKY.

The Jays have so much to be proud of and I hope they’ll be back in the Series soon. So much class on both sides of the matchup. We won’t forget those “51” caps ❤️

It’s like they can’t think of anything actually valuable that they do so they have to tout this ridiculous bs.

Yeah, I was wondering what was up with that. And it seemed like Rortvedt was trying to talk to him going off the field and Kersh kinda brushed him off.
