Remember the two worms from Bagworm rivalry? Well, They are still in the same place today, but one of them is dead. I checked on the second one, and it was missing from its bag! Over the past two or three days, I’ve been finding empty bags. Since the worms never leave their bags, this raised obvious suspicion. Well, today while I was shooting my newly deceased worms, I heard an unfamiliar noise behind me, I turned around to see a black bird 2-3 feet from me pecking at the ground (in the middle of bagworm land!). I scared it off then a couple of minutes later, I turned to see him gobbling up a huge dragonfly. I think this is the bagworm stealing culprit!

So, my theory is that the two “rivaling” bagworms were hanging out, when said bird came up and pecked it from the safety of it’s bag. And the other one died of SHOCK!
