Angela Di Filippo currently works in State Social Services and recently earned her Masters in Industrial/Organizational Psychology with extensive training in evidence-based leadership coaching. Angela moved from North Carolina to Washington 6 years ago and has proudly called Everett her home for 5 of those years. When not helping others solve problems in creative and strength-driven ways, Angela enjoys her time painting, hiking with her terrier-mix, Indy, and eating waffles.

Identifying Good Bugs from Bad by Their Cocoons

That’s how I identify many insects in the garden since I am not particularly good at understanding all the nuances of their wings and bodies in order to search scientifically. Did you know that over 34,000 youth were homeless in our country on any given night in 2020? Youth homelessness can result from instability in their homes from abuse, neglect, domestic violence, parental substance use and family conflict. Cocoon House provides short-term, emergency housing to youth, years old. For the past year and a half, the nonprofit has partnered with EvCC in a pilot program called Onward Learning. Cocoon House, in collaboration with the Snohomish County nonprofit organization Housing Hope, refers youth that are college eligible to enroll at EvCC and stay in the dorms without cost.

He explained that Cocoon House has expanded their work to include employment programming, which is a big part of how they’re combating the crisis today. One potential juror Thursday who spoke of Trump in glowing terms said he was “impressed” with Trump’s career as a successful businessman. He can’t storm out of the courtroom like he did during a recent defamation trial.

When they know there's someone out there who cares and provides for them, life can begin to feel normal again. This building will combine long term housing for youth both 15 to 17 and young adults 18 – 24 on two separate levels. The young adult rooms are on the third floor and include a small refrigerator and microwave. I quickly used an image search to find similar pictures and voila – cocoon identified!

Cocoon House will sell their other two Everett locations on Pine Street and north Broadway with the proceeds going to fund current and future programs. A small space on the 1st floor has been turned into a music studio. There are more laws and regulations pertaining to the minor group. Parental notification and involvement in Cocoon House’s work with the minor is a large part of that.

And he will have to listen to more critics, without being able to punch back verbally — something he revels in doing. And the outcome could go in a direction he really doesn’t want,” said Tim O’Brien, a Trump biographer and critic. The cocoon-like quarters include power outlets, fold-down desks, lighting, and fans, and are larger than similar capsules found in some Japanese hotels. Both houses are fully furnished with shared co-working and living spaces, along with two bathrooms and a shared kitchen. As rents and home prices soar to new heights, one California co-living startup is offering a novel sleeping-pod design to fit more residents into a single-family house. Last but not least is something that you’ve probably stumbled across in the garden.

Do you know that all it takes for a young person to feel supported and cared for is one caring adult? Thankfully, folks who access Cocoon House services have a whole community of caring adults investing in them. In the video above, one of our program managers shares how community support - even if it's behind the scenes - can make such a difference in the life of a young person experiencing instability.

Cocoon House offers a variety of support programs and housing options for young people struggling in our community. Cocoon House provides shelter and housing options to homeless young people ages years old. The bagworm feeds upon the leaves of the host tree, sometimes stripping it bare. In the case of my young apricot trees, such damage could have been catastrophic. I had to remove the bagworms from the fruit trees and destroy them by hand.

When it comes to assisting with the youth face-to-face, there are stricter limits on the volunteering opportunities due to confidentiality restrictions. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic Cocoon House provided a broader range of volunteering options, but the timeline for reopening those positions has been slow moving. However, there are plenty of employment opportunities for those looking to get involved.

We found several cocoons like the one above hanging on our forsythia hedge. My husband loves the forsythia hedge and tends it very carefully. He spotted the cocoons and immediately called me out to look at it, perhaps remembering the bagworm moth cocoon we had discovered in the orchard back in 2013. In each case, I was able to get help to identify the cocoon and insect species and determine whether I should leave it alone or remove it. If you are really stumped and can’t figure out what kind of bug cocoon or egg case you are looking at, you have a few options. Identifying good bugs from bad by their cocoons takes some practice.

Alternatively, you can upload your photo to a search engine like Google Image Search. It compares your picture to others online and will pull up similar pictures. Each one should link to a web page, and that will bring you to information on that particular egg case or cocoon.

With young adults, parental involvement is no longer a requirement, though they still try to engage with parents whenever possible. Cocoon House’s Outreach team works throughout Snohomish County to conduct street outreach to young people through the age of 24. In addition, young folks can work with an Advocate or check out our Drop-In Center.

Founded as an emergency shelter for youth in 1991, Cocoon House has grown to include a continuum of programs designed to prevent and end youth homelessness. Cocoon House offers short- and long-term housing, street outreach, and prevention services aimed at strengthening families. Together, these programs represent a network of services that improve outcomes for youth and families in Snohomish County. Our comprehensive approach ensures that each young person is met where they are, physically and emotionally. Cocoon House staff can connect with young people and their families throughout Snohomish County, whether it be in their homes, in our programs, schools, or anywhere else in the community.
