Evergreen Bagworm Moth - Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis
Description:
Gunpowder Falls State Park Hereford, MarylandBagworms as larva (caterpillars), conceal themselves and feed from a silk case covered with organic material (sticks and leaves). Females never leave this casing. After pupating, males leave the encasement and in the process scrape most of their wing scales off. Males seek out females to mate. The female lays her eggs in her bag. Eggs overwinter and start the process over again.
