Bagworm Moth Larva

Typically found on trees, shrubs, and the sides of buildings or fences.

Larvae are generalist feeders, eating foliage from deciduous and coniferous trees.

Larvae construct a protective silk bag incorporating bits of plant material or debris for camouflage. They live most of their lives inside this case, only sticking their heads out to feed or move.

Often considered a landscape pest as they can cause significant defoliation to host plants; they are not harmful to humans.
