Bagworm.
Interesting shot of a bagworm moth caterpillar peeking out of its 'bag.'

Ah! Thanks for the ID, Eric.
Ah! Thanks for the ID, Eric.

As I was walking home with my camera after an afternoon of shooting, a neighbor asked me if I knew what this funny-looking bug was. She was pointing to the top of the left front tire of her car. I bent over and looked and told her it was some kind of caterpillar, then I took some shots. Neither of us had any idea how it got on top of the tire. Perhaps the bag dropped from inside the wheel well onto the tire (?).

Thanks again for the ID.
