A bagworm moth larva (family Psychidae) is seen on a wooden window shutter, camouflaged like a small piece of debris, in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on June 28, 2026. Bagworm moth larvae construct protective cases from silk and external materials such as debris, sand, or leaves for camouflage. These cases, ranging from 6 to 152 mm (0.25 to 6 inches), are attached to trees, rocks, or fences during rest or pupation. The larvae extend their heads to feed on leaves, typically from evergreens like cedar or juniper, but they can also be found on deciduous trees such as honey locusts. Some larvae, known as log cabin caterpillars, rebuild their homes as they grow.
