What in the ever-loving-fuck (bug video)

Is going on here??? This isn't my video, but I saw one of these on my driveway today. A caterpillar wearing a stick armor shell thing?? It could completely go inside of it. It creeped me out so much.

Do you know what this is?

Even caterpillars are preparing for the zombie apocalypse.

ARM YOURSELVES!

I figured it out- its called a bag worm and it makes a shell out of silk and sticks. Later it turns into some kind of moth.

I'm glad it's not an alien- which was my initial reaction.
