Hanging by a thread

It’s an inch worm.

The inch worm is a caterpillar that will eventually turn into a moth.

They will drop from a silk strand to blow in the wind to relocate or escape a predator.  If nothing exciting happens, they crawl back up that tiny thread, collecting it as they go and ingesting it so the materials can be reused.
