These are by far my favorite insects. I love “hatch day” every year. This year I never found the ootheca and have only seen one hatchling. I know they are around and in a month or so, I should find the queen of the castle in several of the prime spots around the yard (one or sometimes two in the food garden, one in the native bed, one on the patio in the peppers where houseflies hang out on the wall to warm up, and one in the bush under the hummingbird feeder to catch the bees and wasps that come to the feeder. Enjoy your family visit <3
