Bagworm
Bagworms are actually larvae of moths (Lepidoptera family Psychidae) that protect themselves in a case. This case is made from small sticks or acacia thorns that are woven together by silk threads. The females are highly modified and often wingless and featureless mass and only males fly and locate them by scent. The life history is really amazing.
