Thanks everyone, Ken.....I should have said that its the cocoons (??) that I'm finding on the trees. I'm not even sure what the worms look like. Someone from the birding forum posted an article about planting daisies, so as to attract ichneumon wasps, which I guess are predators to the bagworm. I do have those wasps already, so maybe I just need to plant daisies nearby to increase their numbers. Actually, I just remembered that I did find 2 cocoons last year on a small spruce. I threw them into my little stocktank watergarden, thinking they'd drown. Well, I looked out a couple days later, and they had attached themselves to one of the water lily leaves that was hanging out over the stocktank!! I think I have a picture of it if anyone's interested. Very curious! I see these bagworm cocoons on so many evergreens in our area. I was hoping my property was immune......how silly of me! Palustris, I think you're right about the austrian pines. It started out on the tips, and now its killing the entire trees. Its so sad.

Wow! Looks like you got yourself a "mother" bulb there..when you take it out of the bag take another shot of it for us please..makes me want to buy another one!! Can you tell us about how big it actually is? Donna

I will have to check and see who I would complain to at a higher level. The guy at the post office that they always send me to complain to is a jerk. He acts like he could care less and just smiles and says priority mail is not guaranteed delivery in 2-3 days. Just a possibility. I'm like then why do we pay for that? He says it gets priority over regular mail but they only know to look for plants in those green bags and they get delivered first. Maybe we should start poking holes in the box and write live plants on it. I haven't gotten to take any pics of the new brugs yet. John killed the batteries in the camera. He forgot to turn it off last night. The little leaves are really soft and fuzzy on Chantilly Lace. Feels like a baby rabbit, lol.

No thank you everyone! Making these bags keeps me busy. I keep some in my van and give away when I meet nice people or want to put a smile on some ones face. And these days, people can use a smile. I have enough fabric to make about 40 more. I have 2 other projects to finish before I can make more, 2 masks for someone and a bag to put on my walker if I ever get my knee replacement! Showed some of them to my one granddaughter this morning and she wants one of each!! Not going to happen. One of my DDIL's asked me to remind her how to make them again. I sent her the directions and told her I would walk her through. She is tired of making masks and wants to put smiles on other people too!
