Mystery 'UFO' #79588, a bagworm, more clearly, another way

2018-07-09 - Green Hills, Columbia, Adair County, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge, President, Homeplace on Green River
Columbia naturalist Billy Joe Fudge fully documented his observation of a little known phenomenon of nature, the bagworm at work building its 'castle.' or, in this case, its spacecraft. It took a lot of guesses and a lot of clues, but Jill Petrey finally figured it out, before the rest of us became stressed out, trying to unravel the mystery. Above, the bagworm is suspended by a tiny, super strong filament, not visible in the online rendering, and is very close to the ground. - EW. Photos (c) Billy Joe Fudge.
