What are those little bags that look like pine cones hanging on my tree?

Bagworms will form a cocoon that is made from the host plant and when the host plant is an evergreen the cocoons can be mistaken for cones. Bagworms are potentially damaging insects to many trees but especially to evergreens, most frequently spruces and Arborvitae. They can be controlled with the properly timed application of a pesticide.

If not they can seriously damage an evergreen in one season. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
