Hello,

    These little critters sound like what we call bag worms, which
    attack juniper in this area. The larvae builds a silken bag and
    incorporates bits of the tree on the outside. This protective bag is
    sort of dragged along as the larvae feeds and then becomes a
    chrysalis for pupation. For more info, here is a website from the U
    of Kentucky

    Judy in Kansas, where the mercury really dropped last night to single
    digits F. The cat didn't want to stay outside very long this
    morning!
