hello! would you be able to help me identify this... thing? my mom is convinced this is the egg sac of some sort of bug but neither of us have any idea what kind it may be. is this even a bug thing? if so, what kind? thanks ♡

posting this one on my main since I need a reminder to get through all of the bug submissions on @crawlingkind + also I have some specimens to share!
that is a structure made by Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis, a species of bagworm moth. I’m not sure if it’s occupied since empty bags can stick around for years but it could contain either a larva, a pupa, or an adult female. the caterpillars can eat a wide range of plants, and incorporate items from their environment into a sturdy, weatherproof silken bag, which they drag behind them wherever they go. once they are ready, they tie the bag to a perch and pupate. only the male emerges as a recognizeable moth, and flutters around in search of females.

a male and a small case, probably from another male.
the adult female is often described as remaining larviform, but she is even more wormlike than the caterpillars: she is a featureless tube of fat and egg-laying machinery, lacking functional eyes or antennae, and with no legs or wings to speak of. she will die in the bag, surrounded by her eggs, who will hatch the following season.

Found this dead bunch of grass crawling across my driveway today. I identified it as a Saunders case moth, or bag moth or bagworm. After a couple of photos I moved it into some vegetation.
I learnt something new! This was a male. The females are a different colour, and they don't grow wings even after they pupate, and they never leave the case.
Thanks to @onenicebugperday for inspiring me.

Hey @onenicebugperday ! Check out this cutie with a nice mobile home! They’re a big one! I’m guessing it’s a sort of bagworm? I’m in sand springs, oklahoma. (northeast Oklahoma, basically)
I couldn’t submit this since youtube forces it to save as a ‘short’ and i cant use the url from a short to submit a video.

I know it feels weird at first, but bagworms are a member of lepidoptera, making them moths/butterflies

The Queen of Shells is seen as intuitive, compassionate, and nurturing. She rules the realm of emotions. The calmness of the woods and the sky symbolizes the serene mind of the queen. This card embodies the mastery of emotional balance, reflecting a valuable insight into the complex terrain of the human psyche. Above all, this queen acts as a mirror, illuminating the depths present in others so they see themselves in a fresh, new light. She often embodies your trusted inner voice. Her message often suggests prioritizing your emotional well-being before assisting others. Cultivating self-love fosters compassion in turn.
Bagworms are fascinating animals renowned for their unique protective bags, meticulously woven from silk and camouflaged with materials plucked from their environment. The intricate construction of these sanctuaries serves as a powerful metaphor for the importance of trusting our instincts and crafting safe spaces for our emotional growth. This card inspires us to delve deep within ourselves, to trust our instincts and emotions, while simultaneously maintaining a shield of emotional resilience. It underscores the significance of actively listening to the subtle, often unspoken, wisdom residing within our subconscious mind, much like the way bagworms rely on their instincts to create a shelter that aligns with their needs. This behavior eloquently echoes the Queen's intuitive wisdom and adaptability in navigating the tempestuous currents of emotions. Vulnerability can indeed coexist with strength, and our emotions are a source of great power.
In essence, the Queen of Shells guides us toward greater empathy and a deeper understanding of ourselves and those around us. The bagworm symbolizes the importance of honoring our instincts and the reliable inner guidance residing within us. These elements converge to inspire us on a journey of emotional maturity, kindness, and unwavering trust in our inner selves, enabling us to navigate the complex realm of feelings with grace and resilience.

BUGS!!
Throughout this year I’ve really gotten into bug collecting and caretaking. my yard is filled with a verity of plants and flowers that attract a large array of interesting arthropods.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are bagworms (female top, male bottom) and are a common sight across the east and south of Australia. They cover themselves in a cocoon to protect themselves as they age, the female never leaves it but the males come in a verity of amazing colours. This one will be bright orange and black.(though will only live for 2 days)
Tumblr media
they are very easy to take care of, only needing leaves. They’re caterpillar lifespan is up to 1 to 2 years before they undergo metamorphosis.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the caterpillar on the right is some sort of looper but I’m unable to find the species,I found them outside eating one of my rose bushes while they made a silk runway as they went.
the chrysalis on the left is from a budworm that I found munching on my flowers, they’re seen as a pest but I really don’t mind them as they’re native. hopefully they will hatch soon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
a blue swallow tail, losaria coon club tail, and an impressive whip scorpion. All a gift I got for Christmas much to my delight!
Tumblr media
And my current collection. All of the insects were found in my garden. and I make sure not to over-collect as some of the butterfly’s and beetles are under decline. I think it’s important to get people interested in the world around them. Wether it be by conservation or just general enjoyment. Especially as fracking continues to affect many Australian states killing native wildlife and destroying native land.

found these peculiar caterpillar-like things eating my flowers and was curious what they could be! my friend said they reminded her of bagworms but it could be something different so wanted to check with you :•) sorry the image isn’t the clearest tho i tried videoing them but my phone died so had to get my dad take a picture fhdbdj
location: nsw, australia
Yup, looks like bagworms to me! Can't tell which species, though, since I'm not very familiar with your species there and what type of debris they might decorate their bag with.
