I used to collect them when I was a kid, just to see them coming out and eating...There was a "hot spot" in my old neighbourhood, where I could find lots, I thought they vanished for good from my area, but they're still too many, you just don't notice them around!
That's very common here too ;)
Psyche casta is about 1/2 the size of a Canephora hirsuta, and the female is wingless...I think that this is an empty bag worm case, dear @Dina :)
Interesting! :]
