Do you have any other photos? I suspect this one was found DOR, yes?
If that thing is actually part of the fern, I assure you it is not a seedpod.
Agreed. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I think it might be this guy

but with just the one photo, I don't think I could say with any real certainty.
This guy also belongs to the 'Pets' category.
I thought they were mantids when I first saw one in the wild too! I got all excited like I'd found something new, but it turned out, it was just new to me. Still neat though.
Pretty animal.
