Plaster Bagworm

Indoor environments, often found on walls in humid climates; tropical and subtropical regions.

Larvae scavenge for organic fibers including spider webs, wool, hair, and silk.

Larvae construct a protective, spindle-shaped case from silk and environmental debris (sand, dust). They move by protruding their head and front legs to drag the case.

Generally considered a nuisance pest; can damage delicate household fabrics such as silk or wool if present in large numbers.
