Just in case: Coleophora paripennella

It's the time of year when many of the overwintering larvae of the case-bearing Coleophorids resume feeding, often leaving tell-tale signs that allow them to be located.

I came across this case, Coleophora paripennella, when searching the basal rosette of leaves on Knapweed plants in the field adjacent to the house.
