Cocoon and larvae. Morgellon series

This morgellon emerged on the chest at midnight.
Notice the cocoon is formed already.
The larvae that will emerge as an insect is visible from several places from under the white fibres.
You can see pink colour of the Morgellon adult larvae, at places a black colour is visible too. At places red fibres are visible.
I have no firm evidence but I think the red fibres will become legs etc..
This process happens at beginning of night.

Sawfly Larvae on a eucalyptus

From the video's description: They look like caterpillars, but they are sawfly larvae on a gum tree. They are sometimes called 'spitfires' as they secrete an irritating or distasteful liquid from their mouths. Just before video-taping them, I saw a tachina fly trying to lay its eggs on the larvae. Their dance seemed to scare off the fly, although I didn't see the 'spit'.

The caddisfly larvae is encased in detritus from the pond where it was found which is uses to protect itself. Sort of like how a hermit crab uses a shekl for protection.
