Urban Gardening

Finding unusual things while gardening today.BBG 1_15-1Like this skull. I was cuttingĀ back herbaceous perennials today and stumbled upon this. No body attached. Probably a victim of Santeria. Likely a lamb. I’ve heard of people finding roosters nailed to trees in Prospect Park, but until this haven’t seen any sign of animal sacrifice.BBG 1_15-2And I found this unusual egg case/chrysalis/whatever strung between branches of an azalea. Any idea what it might be? There were a couple and they all had a long tightrope with the case somewhere towards the middle. Not terribly well camouflaged. The size is less than an inch.
