The other day, i found a little pile of dirt coming out of one of my pots. Upon further examination I found in the pot some little tubes made up of rose leaves that contained baby insects. Apparently they are the larvae of the Australian Leafrolling Fly. I put the pot back together with the larvae inside (with assistance from a neighbour, I was too freaked out). The mother came back and re excavated the soil to get back to the babies. Im a bit excited as I have never seen this before.
