The Larva or caterpillar of the Plaster Bagworm or more accurately called the Household Casebearer moth is an unusual creature. It carries its case around with it as it hunts out silk nests of spiders and other small creatures. It is rare to find one on the move, but this one is cleaning the nooks and crannies of the screech owl nest box. There are hundreds of them now in a dormant state on the stucco wall of the house that is always in the shade. If they were to become established inside a house they could do some damage, but they require high humidity or moisture to thrive and modern AC has limited their indoor incursions. They are unsightly hanging all over the house. This is the first year they have been noticeable. Link to "Trash bug" Green Lacewing Larva video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dW6E...
