I successfully raised a bagworm!
Lately I’ve had good luck with cocoon rearing. I’m certainly going to continue doing so going forward!.
This specimen may belong to the Amatissa genus. There doesn’t appear to be much information about Australian bagworm species, less so about the Amatissa genus. The lack of information is a further incentive for me to collect more cocoons.
Another example of a hatched specimen can be seen here.
Unidentified, Genus Amatissa
Foodplant: Rhododendron
??/08-9/22 - 22/12/22 (Caterpillar was found on our wheelie bin at a young age, didn’t record its form)
