This "multi-banded" bagworm was initially spotted on the stem of the Clinacanthus nutans this late morning. Later it moved to the underside of a torenia leaf. Measuring about 1 cm, it's more unique than those I've seen because this one takes the case engineering to another level. This conical case is made out of a few bands in different colors and textures. Interesting blue specks are seen on the white bands. Wish I knew what and where the specks came from.
Update @ 120625 - Spotted another of similar kind today which is slightly bigger. Though less appealing, it's no less interesting than the other.
Thank you all for your comments. Added one more picture with inclusion of another bagworm of similar kind.
