Saunder's Case moth caterpillar

This is the biggest case moth cocoon I have ever seen. It is about 8 cm long and the caterpillar is eating our "mozzie buster plant"
I identified it from this great web site www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_moths/LargeBagworm.htm
I hate the name "bagworm". How dismissive of what is a fantastic creature.
