Common bagworm
Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis
Adult common bagworms occur around host trees in woodlands, orchards, and suburban plantings. Winged males fly in search of females, while wingless females remain within the old bag to mate and lay eggs. Adults do not feed, relying on energy stored during the caterpillar stage.
