Bagworm Moth - Dahlica triquetrella
Orange, Franklin County, Massachusetts, USA
April 17, 2009
Size: 4mm
This was climbing up a bridge abutment at the Millers River. I'm keeping it to see if it pupates and emerges.

Moved
Moved from Bagworm Moths. I believe Dahlica triquetrella is parthenogenetic and the females are wingless, never leaving their bags, and laying their eggs inside--in which case saving a cocoon would get you many tiny larvae rather than an adult moth.
