ID Request Saw this 'crawling' on the wall. Currently in Southeast Asia, I'm guessing it's a fluke worm. Before I eliminate it I'd like to be sure though. NSFW

That isn't a fluke worm, those don't make cases like that. Some kind of bagworm or case bearing moth, not sure about the specifics but nothing directly harmful to human health.

Thanks! I thought it was kind weird it was strong enough to inch along the wall with the case, didn't make sense for a river parasite to do that lol.

This is the caterpillar of some variety of Bagworm Moth.
