=Dotted-margin Bagworm*
=Diplodoma herminata

Norfolk status
Local.
Males may fly by day, often in sunshine. Probably under-recorded as species does not usually come to light.

New for Norfolk 2015. Found on a wall in the toilets at Natural Surroundings, Bayfield on 30th June 2015 by Ann Duff. Male gen. det. by J. Clifton.

Recent records from both east and west Norfolk.

Local throughout Britain, in wooded areas. Both sexes are fully winged, unlike most of the Psychidae. The larva builds a case covered with pieces of plant material, and feeds on lichens and decaying vegetable matter on old stumps, fences and rocks.
Adults of all Psychidae cannot feed and are short-lived, the males living from a few hours to rarely more than a day, but females may live for up to two weeks. Males may fly by day, often in sunshine. Neither sex are attracted to lights.

Retained Specimen / Photograph will be Required.
