Bagworm Moth

Description:

The Bagworm Moth shown in the above pictures is the same moth shown in my my related spotting from two days before: https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/13.... I was interested to see if the Bagworm Moth had pupated. So, I returned to the same spot two days later. As you can see, it had not yet pupated and was still busy munching the leaves and making plenty of holes. Although I did not see the pupation, I feel that my second visit to this Bagworm was worthwhile because it reinforced my realisation that this creature was not in the slightest sedentary or torpid as I had previously thought. It was even more active than the larvae of more familiar moths, in that it seemed to be busy eating all day, but somehow also manages to build this amazing protective cover.

Habitat:

This Bagworm Moth was spotted in the backyard of the rice mill on an unidentified plant.
