Taleporia tubulosa
Large Birch Bright (Taleporia tubulosa) is a small nocturnal moth from the bagworm moth family (Psychidae). It is found locally in Europe, from southern Scotland, through west and central Europe, east up to Russia and the Balkan. In the north it is found in Fennoscandia. In mountainous areas it is found up to heights of 1,800 meters ASL.
The wings of the male are greyish brown and look frayed, with a wingspan of 15 to 19 millimeters. The females do not have wings, as is usual for bagworm moths.
The caterpillars feed on lichen from the genus Parmelia, but they may also[1] eat plant remains. They live in a protective casing made of grass or bark that is usually attached to a tree. The females remain in this casing when adult. The males' flight time ranges from May to June.
