User's notes
I noticed a strange bit of mud on a door frame in the house. After taking my first photograph I think that it may be a case of the Australian Bagmoth caterpillar. Indeed, while I was photographing it, the case wagged from side to side briefly. The next morning I thought that it was gone, because I could not see it in the same spot. It was only later in the week that I found it on another door frame.
