Cocoon (possibly praying mantis egg case) nestled amongst the golden orbs of Western Soapberries, a common tree at Hagerman NWR in Grayson County, Texas. Mainly a tree of the southwest, soapberries are used for washing in Mexico. Some native tribes used the wood for arrows and basket weaving.

What are Soapberries? Are they edible? Does anything eat them? Can you make soap from them?

Keith Dixon 09 Feb 2014

A most unusual shot. I wonder when the butterfly / moth will emerge. Are the berries edible. Great photograph Brenda!
