Bagworm

Trees, shrubs, and sometimes exterior walls of buildings where they attach their protective cases.

Leaves and needles of various deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs.

The caterpillar constructs and carries a portable case made of silk and plant debris, extending its head and thorax out to feed and move.

High infestations can defoliate and damage ornamental trees and shrubs, posing a pest risk in gardens and landscapes.
