Case Moths: These are moths whose larvae live within silken causes, covered either with pieces of stick or leaves, attached or just more or less smooth. The female never leaves the case—she is wingless and lays the eggs within it. The male emerges from the end of the case, the pupal shell being pushed right out, and hangs from the tip of the case. The male moth is winged and is not very conspicuous. |
