Hi,
Today I saw this larva climbing a house wall. Does anyone know what taxon it belongs to? I know Bagworm Moths (Psychidae) and Case-Moths (Coleophoridae), whose caterpillars live in bags, but these look different. So I really wonder who makes such a nice little ton to carry along.

It really looks like a Clytrinae (Chrysomelidae) larva.

That's a good hint - many thanks!
