I would be happier identifying this if you also had photos of the caterpillars inside the bag.

I didn't have any idea what those thing were when I was taking the photos, so I was a bit wary of poking around. But I can go back and open one up.

While you are about it, take a couple into protective custody and try and rear them to get an adult moth, which you could take back and release at the same site, after taking its portrait.

OK, I'll see what I can do. Not sure about the protective custody part -- my wife might have something to say about that. :-)
