Bagworm Moth Larva

Found on various deciduous and coniferous trees including cypress, juniper, cedar, and oak, as well as on man-made structures.

Generalist herbivores that feed on foliage, including leaves and needles of host plants.

Larvae construct protective cases made of silk and plant debris; they carry these cases while feeding and eventually pupate inside them.

Can cause significant defoliation to landscape trees and shrubs; considered a garden pest but provides food for birds and predatory insects.
