This is how we found them in the grass. We unfolded them after to see what was in them and there was nothing.
Good theory. I'll check it out. Thanks!
If I am not mistaken, beetle or weevil mothers are responsible for this.Each folded leaf for one larva.Maybe the young insects has matured and left the leaves by the time you found them.
Fascinating! Such neat little packages
