Fur Moth
The Fur Moth is a type of moth belonging to the family Psychidae. These moths are known for their unique appearance, often covered in a protective case made from silk and plant materials. Adult fur moths are typically small, with a wingspan ranging from 1 to 2 inches. They are mostly nocturnal and are attracted to light.
Fur moth larvae are known for their distinctive behavior of constructing portable cases, which they carry as they move. These cases provide camouflage and protection from predators. The larvae feed on various plant materials, including leaves and decaying organic matter, playing a role in the ecosystem by aiding in decomposition.
