I don’t know what this bug is and I’m dying to find out. My curiosity is killing me. It’s a very tiny bug supporting a huge shell of some kind of wood shavings , if you will. Hoping for an answer!!

This is a Bagworm, the caterpillar of a moth in the family Psychidae. Bagworms construct shelters from bits of plant that act as camouflage as well as protection.

There are quite a few families with stinging caterpillars. We would need an image to attempt any identification. A Stinging Slug Caterpillar in the family Limacodidae is a likely possibility
