Moths of Zihuatanejo
ORDER LEPIDOPTERA
Bagworm
Family Psychidae
The Bagworm Moths (family Psychidae) are a fascinating and diverse group of small moths best known for the unique behavior of their larvae, which construct protective cases or "bags" from silk and surrounding materials. These cases are not only their homes but also a form of camouflage and defense. Larvae construct cases using silk and materials from their environment, such as twigs, leaves, sand, or other debris.
