I'm really not sure what this is from. Found hanging from cypress trees that are in the lake. Only on the trees that the branches are over water.

Terrestrial caddisflies are very interesting. I don't think I've ever seen one before, though apparently we have them in North America, too:

I also found a book, "Architecture by Birds and Insects", that describes a lot of interesting nest-builders, including the various caddisflies:

Yes Bagworm type moth pupa.... Sarah is correct.

Hi digi sarah, that's why I added the "here" caveat. In Tasmania we have terrestrial caddisflys.
Wow! Thanks! I'm reading about them know. Still curious to know exactly what is in them. I think you have me on the right track!!
Female Evergreen Bagworm moths (Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis) look like this and will live in cypress trees. I don't know if they have a connection to water.
It does sort of look like caddisfly, but it's not in water. I'm not sure whether caddisfly larvae ever take their "houses" out of the water or not.
It's a cocoon disguised by the cunning application of sticks. If I found it here I'd say it belonged to a caddisfly larvae.
