It’s Bagworm Time The bagworm Thvridoptfcrvx ephemeraeformis. is an unusual and serious defoliating pest of many ornamental trees and shrubs. It receives its name from the bag-like structure constructed from leaf fragments that are bound together with silk produced by the larva. Most of the insect’s life is spent within the bag, which serves as a protective structure. Bagworms feed on more that 125 species of trees, and conifers, especially arborvitae, juniper, cedar, Leyland cypress and white pine are preferred hosts. The presence of the spindleshaped bag structures is the principal evidence of a bagworm infestation.The bagworm overwinters as yellowish eggs within the bag.
