Bagworms, Bagmoths or Case Moths

Description:

Bagworm coming out of its cocoon :) The caterpillar larvae of the Psychidae construct cases out of silk and environmental materials such as sand, soil, lichen, or plant materials. These cases are attached to rocks, trees or fences while resting or during their pupa stage, but are otherwise mobile. The larvae of some species eat lichen, while others prefer green leaves. In many species, the adult females lack wings and are therefore difficult to identify accurately. - wikipedia

Habitat:

Urban garden.
