Eastern Red Cedar (0 words) |
 | Your cedar may be "decorated" with little silk sacks that have the cedar's own scaly foliage attached on the outside of them. |
| These are made by the larvae of a moth called the Bagworm Moth, [Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis] which feeds on the foliage and uses its little sack as camouflage from predators. |
| If it was inhabited by a male, the remains of his pupal skin (a dark, crisp shell) may still be hanging out the bottom of the bag. |
