¿Alguna vez habíais visto ESTO? 👀
Os presento a Amicta quadrangularis, una polilla de la familia Psychidae 🦋.
¿Y dónde está la polilla? Pues dentro de esos tronquitos tan bien ordenados que su oruga reúne para protegerse 🐛. La forma de apilarlos es distintivo de cada especie.

Psychidae larvae build mobile cases from silk and natural materials. They enlarge them as they grow and use them as shelters against predators, while abundant populations can significantly damage tree foliage on some tree species.

3 species of Psychidae on one section of wooden fence. Whilst I was passing by I decided to check the fence where last year I counted over 1000 Luffia lapidella cases, found 853 today along with a probable Dahlica sp. case (needs rearing to confirm) A bonus Psyche casta was nfy. VC30 #teammoth

Until Richard South's hugely popular Moths of the British Isles (first published 1907) fixed the boundary between macro and micro moths, the Psychidae (bagworms) used to be part of the Macrolepidoptera, as here in Seitz's Macrolepidoptera of the Palaearctic Region.
