This buddy tried to climb into my shoe, but my foot was already in it. I relocated him/her into leaf litter under my palm trees. My skin is crawling, but I'm trying to get over the visceral "danger" reaction when I see them.

I have a pesticide free yard and a great ecosystem for all sorts of insects

Las Vegas, NV. This blew down from one of our palm trees. I have a northern mocking jay (friend id for me) who is always in the tree.

No egg or shell fragments on the ground, thankfully

Unfortunately there is no way to get the nest back up there, as you can see. I leave the top leaves/bark on the palms for the birds

The nest is going to my kids robotics coach to share with the school.
