Bagworm (Larva/Pupa Case fragment)

Found on a variety of evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs, often in residential landscapes.

Larvae feed on leaves and needles of host plants, including cedar, juniper, arborvitae, and oak.

Larvae construct protective silk cases covered with plant debris. Females never leave the bag, while males emerge as moths to mate.

High populations can cause severe defoliation and death of ornamental trees. Not harmful to humans directly, but a significant horticultural pest.
