Bagworm Moth
Unidentified Psychidae
15.4558, 119.921
Field Notes
Description:
I am still struggling to work out a system which might help me to identify Bagworm Moths, but in the meantime, this one seemed worthy of becoming a PN spotting because of the beautifully neat and tidy shape of the bag. However, no matter how neat it looks, it is still destructive. The first three pictures show the hole it was eating in one leaf, and the fourth photo a little more of the tree (for those who may not be familiar with Citrus maxima). The last photo shows many more holes which, because of their size and shape, I can only assume were made by the same Bagworm.
Habitat:
This Bagworm Moth was spotted in our front garden on a Pomelo (Citrus maxima) locally known as Suha. Plant identification - http://www.stuartxchange.org/Suha.html
Notes:
Philippine Lepidoptera have a good number pictures of Bagworm Moths - https://philepidoptera.wixsite.com/moths/-psychidae-bagworm-moths
