Elm zigzag sawfly (Aproceros leucopoda)

At home

On Slippery elm. The larva has formed a thin, lattice-like cocoon in which to pupate. This is apparently its summer cocoon, in winter it pupates on the ground in a sturdier cocoon.

that's remarkable as this cocoon does not seem to offer much protection...
