The
Psychidae
or
Bagworms
are a family of the
Lepidoptera
. The
larvae
of the Psychidae construct cases out of environmental materials such as
sand
,
soil
or
lichen
. These cases are attached to rocks, trees or fences. The
larvae
of some species eat lichen, while others prefer green leaves. In many species, the adult females lack wings and are therefore difficult to identify accurately. The family is fairly small, with about 600 species described.
