Terrible neighborhood choices in nature

Case bearing moth larva with sapsucker holes

Never saw or noticed a case bearing moth before the so called terrestrial periwinkle the other day. The next day I found about six more all over the place, including this one here who decided that a good place to hang out would be next to a row of sapsucker holes on a western redcedar.

Live and learn. Or in this case, die and don’t breed.
