View attachment 2797911We have a toad that shows up on our porch nearly every evening. He likes all the moths that are porch light attracts. I probably have half a dozen pictures on my phone of him in different places on the porch. My kids have started calling him Porch, lol.

Love this. I miss toads.

If you saw this in on a bush or a tree, would you know that it was living? Meet the "Bagworm Caterpillar". It collects and saws little sticks to construct elaborate spiral log cabins to live in. These small creatures begin as moths. Once they hatch they immediately begin constructing elaborate shields for themselves for protection, often times looking like log cabins. They build their homes out of silk, sand, soil, and plant materials. If you look very closely, you can see the strands that it used to tie the structure together. Bagworm moths make their homes in many types of trees, especially cedar trees. Larvae crawl to nearby plants and their bags can be seen hanging on trees that they feed on. Some may spin a silk thread that catches the wind and carries them off to new trees.
