Jim and everyone else,

I posted a picture of one of my bagworms in the "Pests Let's see yours
thread" on the IBC galleries located here.

topic,16592.45/

I just simply put them in few nested plastic bags tied off quite
nicely and put them in my trash can. One day in the sun drenched 150
degree trash can ought to do the little critters in. These things only
produce one generation a year so controling a population shouldn't be
that difficult.

thanks to everyone who helped me figure out what these were.

Thankfully I didn't need to call in the full fledged CSI-Bonsai unit!

Check your tree(s) carefully and look not only for the smaller bags,
but the big one where next year's eggs are. I just found one on a
spruce tree. It should be several times larger than the others, a good
couple of inches in length.
