Bagworm Moth larval case - Thyridopteryx species?, Julie Metz Wetlands, Woodbridge, Virginia. Bagworm larvae extend their head and thorax from their mobile case to devour the leaves of host plants. They add plant material to their mobile case, which makes it look like the plant it is on. Adult females remain in the case while the male extends his abdomen into the female's case to breed. I'm unsure if this was the larval case of a male that has left, or if it's a female looking for a male.
