I had to duck to avoid this one. Yes there is an insect emerging from some type of cocoon. What is it???

Yep, that's a bagworm. They are rife down here in Maryland and further south, though evidently they've been migrating further north each year for about a decade or so.

Wow, Interesting. Never heard of them.
We'll they have made up to 42 degrees northern latitude apparently.
