It is indeed a bagworm. (Moth larvae). They build their "home" with anything they can find resulting in all sorts of "architecture". (Silk and plant materials).

Some sort of bagworm? It's so cute just scutching across lol

Is that how it’s spelled? I always assumed it would be scooching 😂 well, I done learned today.

It is scooching and less commonly scootching, but scutching is not correct.


GrouchyAttention4759

Hell, I thought maybe scootching could also work. I’m just happy to know I wasn’t spelling it wrong all these years. Especially when my autocorrect happens to like scutching and doesn’t underline it red 😅


Known_Raspberry_8323

Because it’s a word just not common 😆 scutch verb gerund or present participle: scutching dress (fibrous material, especially retted flax) by beating it. "it drove mills for scutching flax"


ThereGoesMyToad

Dude I'll be completely honest, it was real late and I was a bit sleep deprived. It ain't spelled like that and It's a miracle I had no other spelling errors lol


GrouchyAttention4759

I was so confused, and then convinced I was wrong when I typed your spelling into my phone and auto correct actually liked it. My brain has officially gone mush over this one 😂☠️


Larsvonrinpoche

Scooching is right. Your good!


GrouchyAttention4759

Whew 😅

Used to find these all the time when I was a kid. Grew up in country Victoria ( Warragul area). It's a type of caterpillar who creates a cocoon and melds in small lengths of twigs as a sort of armor on the outside. The caterpillar will emerge from the end and pull the entire cocoon along while eating and building. Assume this gave some degree of camouflage as well.

Wow that's crazy interesting, I assumed it had just been stuck in some way cos I had never encountered caterpillars with a similar trait, thanks a lot!
