A bagworm (f. Psychidae) in the North Woods of Central Park in late May. These eventually end up as moths called bagworm moths.

Another update to Global Lepidoptera Index / #CatalogueOfLife / @gbif - the family #Psychidae (#bagworm #moths):

https://stangeia.hobern.net/updating-global-lepidoptera-index-for-psychidae/

The vast majority of names for this group in the old LepIndex dataset are no longer considered current. The update added 30% more accepted species for the family.

I just found this little bag worm that’s been living in my room. I feel honoured that it’s been using my detritus to build it’s home, but also slightly worried about it eating my house plants.
