la Psyche lustrée
<em>Psyche casta</em> is a moth belonging to the family Psychidae within the order Lepidoptera. Commonly known as the common bagworm moth, this species is recognized for the characteristic portable case or bag that its larvae construct from silk and plant debris, providing protection throughout development. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating a stable population with no immediate threat of extinction. <em>Psyche casta</em> is typically found across a broad geographic range spanning Europe and North America, with documented occurrences in Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. Larvae are commonly associated with low-growing vegetation, lichens, and mosses, inhabiting gardens, hedgerows, and woodland edges where suitable plant material is available for case construction. Adult females of this species are wingless, a notable morphological trait among psychid moths. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
