These holes started to show up around our patio. This a.m. I was surprised to see how many there were. I was curious to know what was causing them. My daughter, Tami, thought they were traps created by spiders. So we did some research. What we found out are the holes are made by an insect larva which turns into a bug that looks like a dragonfly. Our grandson, Nathan, found this one in one of the holes. They are not beautiful, but they do trap and kill spiders and other insects when they fall into these holes.
