Plaster Bagworm

Commonly found inside homes, particularly on walls and floors in humid environments. They thrive in damp, shady areas.

The larvae feed on spider webs, wool, hair, and various natural fibers including discarded insect parts.

The larva constructs a protective spindle-shaped case from silk, sand, and dust. It can move by poking its head out from either end and pulling itself along surfaces.

Primarily a domestic nuisance. While they do not bite humans, they can potentially damage natural fiber fabrics, carpets, and clothes.
