词条 bagworm moth
释义
bagworm moth
insect
any of a family of insects (order Lepidoptera) that are found worldwide and named for the baglike cases the larvae construct around themselves. The bag ranges in size from 6 to 152 mm (0.25 to 6 inches) and is constructed from silk and bits of leaves, twigs, and other debris. It is also used as a pupal case.
The strong-bodied male has broad, fringed wings with a wingspread averaging 25 mm (1 inch). The wormlike female lacks wings and, in most species, remains in her bag during mating, where she will also later deposit her eggs. The female evergreen bagworm (Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis) dies after mating, and the eggs are retained in her body until they hatch. Bagworm larvae are often destructive to trees, especially evergreens.
