Noticed a number of these "pods" on a Cypress that is in my nursery area. We will pick up trees on the cheap at year end, damaged, etc for a couple bucks and plant them in this area for a year or so to get them going then move them onto a permanent location so this is the only Cypress I have on the farm and I don't know what kind it is.

These do not look like the Cypress cones I have seen in the past. 

Any ideas?  Thanks.

Some sort of Bagworm?  There would be a caterpillar hiding inside that eventually turns into some sort of moth.

Bagworm moth - Wikipedia

They look a bit different to our local one, but according to that wikipedia page there are dozens of different species with different looking "bags".

Yup, bagworms, looks like leylands which is their favorite, cut em off and burn.

Yep, that's bagworms... pretty common in landscape trees.

Technically now they are ashes at the bottom of the wood stove. Thanks for the help!

back in the day when the kids were small we had seafoam cedar in the front yard, every year they were loaded up with bag worms.  So, the kids and I would have a bug hunt, pull them off the cedars, and, once any way, I taught the kids to squeeze the bags and pump the bug out the end.  Like I say, once, they didn't care for that, and the bug hunt bounty went into the fire.

It's much better to bite the end off of da bag and suck da worm out.  8)

Yup, maybe dat's what I was talking about.  The South Louisiana cool weather has made both them and Strawberries a bit slow this year but we will soon have them both.  food6

Lynn,

   I think that last mudbug you ate had been cooked and left out a little too long before you ate it. :D
