Location: Hungary Date: 2006-05-27 Place: garden, among the grasses I think it was made by a bagworm moth (Psychidae). I have never seen yet previously. It was seemingly abandoned. The females of the bagworm moths are wingless and they live in these bags which make from various pieces of plants. eguzki attached the following image:  [80.69Kb] |

Well, I do not want to spoil the party here, but 1. Many cases are dead, probably they dry out. 2. Many cases are parasitized, so no moth will appear. 3. As far as I know many bagworm moths have wingless females, so there is a chance again to not get anything. 4. If I am not mistaken, there are lots of parthenogenetic species with wingless females, so the chances again decrease. Bagworm moths are very common almost everywhere (though tough it is to spot them), but it is very very difficult to find winged Psychidae.
