Bagwormcocoon
Hi. I just came across this cocoon hanging from a dead blackberry bush I think. It is about 1 1/4 inches long. The webbing is covered by tiny sticks. Can you tell me what species it belongs to? Thanks,

Hi Marcelle,
As an Interpretive Ranger, we are giving your letter a high priority as it is very important to be able to inform the visiting public. This is a type of moth known as a Bagworm. Your photo is stunningly dramatic.
