[@casemothcapers9265]

While I’m glad that you found these amazing creatures fascinating enough to make a video about them, there’s a number of key aspects that I think you’ve misunderstood or gotten incorrect information, so I’d like to provide some clarification. Case moths/bagworms are from the Psychidae family of moths. The structures that the caterpillars build and inhabit are called “cases” and are not cocoons. A cocoon is a structure that a caterpillar builds just prior to pupating to protect it while it transforms. However, Psychidae caterpillars start building their cases shortly after hatching and continue to build them as they grow. The cases provide them with protection while they move and feed. Many species spend a long time in the caterpillar phase, which can be around 2 years for some species. The caterpillar never fully leaves the case. It only pokes it’s head and thorax out the top of the case when feeding and moving around, and when it needs to poop, it shuffles down inside the case and pokes its butt out the bottom :) The caterpillars usually have hard plates on their head, thorax, and rear segment but the middle of their body is very soft and vulnerable, hence why they stay in their cases. When it comes time for them to pupate, they will reverse their orientation in the case so that they are “head down”. Male moths will emerge by wiggling their pupal case out the bottom of the main case, where it’s special barbs that prevent it falling out, and the male moth and exit the case. Majority of female Psychidae moths are wingless. Some look just like a moth with no wings, in that they still have a moth-like body and functioning legs. This type may exit the case and hang onto the outside to await a male moth. The other type of wingless female moth hardly looks like a moth at all and looks more like a fat grub. These females are pretty much just sacks of eggs with reproductive organs. They have no functioning legs or mouthparts. They don’t even leave their case. Instead, they use pheromones to attract a male. These males come equipped with an extendable abdomen, which is just as well as they land on the outside of her case and have to insert their abdomen into the bottom of the case in order to fertilise her. After mating, the female lays her eggs and dies shortly after. For the females that stay inside the case, the eggs are also laid inside the case, which provides them with some added protection. When the caterpillars hatch, they emerge from the bottom of the case, rappelling down on lines of silk, before landing and wandering off to find material to start building their cases. Psychidae are found all over the world and many species are still undescribed or poorly described. Most of the research attention is given to the species that impact on agriculture. It’s not known what drives a species to create its particular style of case. While camouflage and protection seem logical, some case styles don’t seem to blend with the environment or mimic a particular thing. I’ve been raising a few Australian species for a couple of years now and I’m always learning new things. I’ve been fortunate enough to observe the caterpillars adding sticks to their cases, observe a mating, then observe tiny baby caterpillars emerging and watch them start to build their little cases. I recently had a Metura elongatus caterpillar I found back in February 2018 when it’s case was only 1-2cm long finally emerge as an adult male moth in December 2019, an almost 2 year journey. Anyway, if you’re interested I’ve got a few videos uploaded on my KZbin channel. While I’m passionate about Psychidae, my video skills are limited to my iPhone or iPad so it’s hardly cinematic quality. But there are videos of some case building, baby caterpillars, and mating there if you’re interested.

[@beardlessdragon]

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing!!

[@theokllama3047]

Tell me, he's got to be wrong about the males don't eat at all, right? Do they acually have the material and energy to hatch, grow, go through metamorphosis all without a single meal?

[@casemothcapers9265]

@@theokllama3047 I suspect they meant the adult moths. After eclosing, neither male or female moths eat and generally have quite short lifespans. Of the species I’ve raised the adult males generally only live around 24-48 hours and the females around a week. During that time they live off the reserves they built up prior to pupating. This is not something unique to Psychidae though. There are a lot of other moth families where the adults don’t eat.

There is female caterpillar in Australia that does not metamorphose and will mate with the flighted male.

This is a curious insect group with a great amount of diversity.

[@casemothcapers9265]

a.i. newton Many species of Australian Psychidae have what are known as “vermiform” female moths. These females look more like a fat grub than a moth. They remain inside the case as adults and attract males with pheromones. The male moths come equipped with an extendable abdomen, capable of reaching inside the case to fertilise her. The most common and recognisable Australian species, Metura elongatus (Saunders’ case moth) is one of these species.

Do tent caterpillar moths next - they basically form social structures and build elaborate tents so they can get warm enough to eat buds and leaves early in the spring - before any competition, but after 3 months they pupate, leaving their colonial structures behind. After that, they only have a couple weeks during the summer to mate, lay eggs (which overwinter), and die.

In Depth combat mechanics and an event which encourages people to take part. Once all of the above drags you in, there will be an educational segment in the menu, which will reward you for learning. Hundreds of facts about these creatures and cleared misconceptions, once you are ready, you take the quiz and if you answer the 3-5 questions correctly, you recieve small rewards that make your gameplay more convinient. (bonus points which you use to earn Tier 2 insects etc) ofcourse whatever the quiz gives you, you can earn while playing, but that is just a way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone, i teach you about these amazing creatures, AND you gain from it.

[@raminagrobis6112]

These moths strongly remind one of caddisflies (the order of Trichoptera). Caddisfly larvae make a furrow of sand and bits of dead plant material (twigs, bark, leaves, etc.) in which they hide along little forest streams and feed on tiny aquatic preys. Each type of Trichopters or caddisfly has a distinctive furrow structure (which is assembled using a special gluing fluid secreted by the larva). Their size being relatively small and the fact that they use dead materials to build their "case" makes them being no threat to agriculture. In fact, biologists like me collect caddisfly larvae in forest streams to check water quality, as Trichoptera are exquisitely sensitive to various forms of water pollution. For those unfamiliar with caddisflies, I have to say that the moth larvae in your video are much larger than the Trichoptera larvae and their "houses" although built according to similar plans, are much smaller.
