The portable home

The portable home
The portable cocoon home of a Saunders Case Moth (or Elongatus metura should you prefer the scientific name). These are found through eastern Australia and spend most of their lives in these silk cocoons enhanced with twigs. A second shot in the note gives an idea of the size of the cocoon.

Explored.

You can hardly see the cocoon for the twigs- an interesting find!
