I had about decided to get a real Christmas tree locally this year and woke up this morning with a horrible thought. What if Joro spider egg sacs are in the tree? It could happen. One year when the kids were little, we cut a tree out of the back pasture and drug it up with the horse. Picture perfect. Baby praying mantises were all over my house. Another year a little green snake was in the tree. Guess I will stick with the fake one....
