Temporary Housing!

Out with some friends yesterday on a bit of a bird/macro shoot. At one point Em (or Black Cat Photos) shouts me over. She'd found this tiny critter and it was really tiny. I cranked the MP-E up to 5*magnification and started to photography this lacewing larvae. I have seen one of these before but I haven't seen one take off it's house and then put it back on before! Very bizarre anyone know what the behaviour is all about?
