lowlights -
- the evergreen bagworm's case grows to a length over 6 cm,
tapered on both ends
- commonly parasitized by ichneumonid wasps [bonus,
right?]
- The female never leaves the cocoon, requiring that the male
mate with her through the open end at the back of the case. She has no
eyes, legs, wings, antennae and can't eat, but emits a strong pheromone to
attract a mate.
Ew! Ew ew ew ew ew!
