  They are fascinating! I don't think I've ever found any. Any tips for finding them? Posted 6 years ago

    Random luck, honestly. I find them frequently on arborvitae, actually. Posted 6 years ago

    In Australia there seem to be many of them and I gues when you seen a few your eye learns to pick them up more easily. If you find your first one I am sure you will see them all the time. Posted 6 years ago
