外見

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.
