Pine Bug

This is the pine bug--the adult male at top (looking like a bee) and its larva below, in a cocoon (looking like a plant). In its larva stage, the bug decorates itself with bits of the plant (often a pine tree) that it feeds on. The larva (several hundred of them) emerge from their mother's overwintering cocoon in the spring and get  windblown to a nearby tree, where they begin to add twigs to disguise themselves. The larva in the cocoon above had mistakenly attached itself to a window in our house. In late summer the males emerge from their cocoon and seek females to mate with. She stays in her cocoon. She no eyes or legs, and does not eat. She is just an egg carrier. (Top photo from Wikipedia) Click to enlarge.
