Case Moth Friends

This Autumn, our garden has been inundated with case moths caterpillars!

They construct these amazing cases, which are about 4-5 inches long, out of twigs and leaves.

Jackson named this one "Little Lewis." We also have Tree Trunk and Tree-y, and a number of others who have come and gone.

Two case moths caterpillars have been dormant on our house walls for a couple of weeks now, so we're hoping they will emerge as moths soon.

I think Jackson is thinking "this dose't look as tasty as the chocolate cake mama and I baked.
