A Bagworm....

 I`ve been lucky over the years regarding various interesting invertebrates that have turned up on my various front doors with several scarce moth or beetle species providing `easy records`.

Today it was the turn of one of the psychid (or `bagworm`) moths, so called because of the larval cases that they construct. I`m not sure of the i/d of today`s species - it may just be the relatively common Luffia ferchaultella or, it may be something of greater interest. I`ll attempt to rear it. There are good photos etc on p 46-48 of Chris Manley`s British & Irish Moths, 3rd Edition (2021).
