    Nice. Do you think it's a bagworm? Posted 6 years ago

      I have NO idea at this point! I looked through my tracks/signs book, and I'm not finding a match as of right now. :/ Posted 6 years ago

      Okay, got a tip from someone on the forums. It looks like it might actually be a Chrysomelid beetle. A case-bearing leaf beetle!
      Haven't narrowed it down completely, but check this out!

        Oh wow, a beetle. I was not expecting that but it helps both you and me. Later down my set I have an example with the beetle sticking out just like that reference. I had no idea what it was, now I do :) Posted 6 years ago
