Case Moth/Bag Worm/Bag Moth (Psychidae). The cocoon or case is mobile. The caterpillars are leaf miners when they are very small and may take several years before they come to the pupate stage. If it is a female, it will not develop wings and will never come out of the bag. It waits for a winged male in her bag.
