The Basket Worm by State Geologist Blatchley
J B Jones Jr of Connersville sent a small box with a bag worm specimen. The caterpillar builds a silken sack covered with leaves and twigs, moves by dragging its case, and uses it as a cocoon when pupating. Females die in the case, leaving eggs. males have wings. Several Psychidae species exist in the United States, commonly on evergreens like cedar and hemlock. The larval specimen appears cedar-associated.
