Psychidae
Bagworm moths are tiny insects that make cozy bags from leaves and twigs to protect themselves. They are often found hanging from trees and look like little bags swaying in the wind!
Hábitat: Forests
The Bagworm Moths is notable for its larvae which construct and carry a camouflaged, spindle-shaped silk bag adorned with bits of leaves, twigs, or bark. Adult males are small, often dull grey or black, with delicate wings and feathery antennae, while females are typically wingless and remain inside their bag.
