This interesting larva belongs in the Arthropods section. :-)
then i'll check my tree to see another one. Hope i get more luck to see it other forms :)
KumalaSari, same I think, mine was done and ready, it climbed as high as it could and closed the structure, it stayed there for weeks, but then I had to leave and did not see what happened ... : (
oohh you were right Gilma. It looks ] similar :) Perhaps the same animal (?) :)
I found something very similar here in San Jose, Costa Rica, but to this day I am not sure if the ID is correct.

well.. I accidentally spotted it when get rid of larvae-pest. And just ‘force open’ it for my curiosity. It would be quite challenging to see how it constructs its fort
There is an animal architecture mission and if you like you can check it out..I have never seen this actually being constructed...just the end product. Great timing.
