Bagworm moth - Psyche casta - Male
Arlington, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
June 17, 2020
Size: 8mm
The pupa casing was ~1cm, so I think the moth was probably ~8mm. Did not see it, but am assuming the moth just emerged from this casing. Thinking maybe the Common Bagworm Moth, Psyche casta? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!
