Yet more nature via Christmas trees
Hi Bugman!
Your site is AWESOME! We use it for reference a lot. We sent a photo of one of two cocoons (?) found on our Christmas tree near the crown. We have both in a pyrex dish with plastic wrap punched full of holes on top. Any suggestions?

Hi Bill,
This is a Bagworm, a type of moth. Females are wingless and legless and do not leave the bag. The males will fly to her. We have an entire Bagworm page on our site.
