Wandering Case Moth
I feel the Case Moths have to rank highly among our more curious native insects. I was delighted to see this one, in caterpillar stage, hauling its silk and twigs home across our driveway. They wander around in their cases, sometimes for up to two years, until they are ready to pupate. They then anchor the case to somewhere suitable (see the second and third PiPs) before reaching moth stage. More information on them here.

Only last year I found a similar specimen for the first time,
much smaller than the one you showed, but equally amazing.
Great find and shots, George!
........wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni:))
