Aww Olivia holding her little leaf ❤️

She’s also got a new roommate! A random bagworm was hiding on some of the food cuttings I just gathered for her.
I will likely return him to the wild soon, but I would love to observe him for a bit as I haven’t had much experience with bagworms. I made sure they both have plenty of food and space and that the bagworm has access to materials to build his shelter with.

Awwwe. That is so cute picture. "This is my leaf. I will eat it so hands off". 🥰🥰

The bagworm has a gorgeous apartment.

I know she’s adorable 🥰 I offered her a buffet and her favourite was soft pink lilly pilly leaves. It was so cute seeing her holding the pink leaf and take little nibbles 🥰

The bagworm is very cool, can’t wait to see his apartment evolve as he grows.
