I have a few bagworms on my willow tree and I don't know what those caterpillars look like later. I filled a paper bag one time when I was young with them and before I knew it, they had crawled out of the bag dragging their little tent with them.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-40085619718174838122018-09-11T13:01:11.257-05:002018-09-11T13:01:11.257-05:00my sister (see below) is correct...bagworm cocoon....my sister (see below) is correct...bagworm cocoon.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-40432948462237217102018-09-11T12:33:30.150-05:002018-09-11T12:33:30.150-05:00That ant, wow!That ant, wow!Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-54246642597611454622018-09-11T12:30:55.038-05:002018-09-11T12:30:55.038-05:00Odd cocoon - bagworm, I think.

August and I were looking at a sort of chart about snakes found in Florida and there were snakes I'd never even heard of! How can that be? In my own state!
