Case Moth and Cocoon

More wildlife from our garden. This is a case moth (also known as a bagworm) on the left and its cocoon on the right. We see them from time to time in our garden.

As you can see this one has just left its cocoon .

I have picked them off a dwarf blue spruce. I never would have known what that thing was if someone hadn't told me.

@shutterbug49 Thanks, they are fascinating aren't they.

@robz Ha ha, yes I have seen them dragging their cocoon around for a while, but this one has now become detached.

@tunia They are so interesting aren't they. Glad I was able to identify it for you.
