Where can I find more information on these? We always called them \"bag ladies\" as it was always supposed to be the female in the bag. What of the males? Is this a moth? |

They belong to the family Psychidae.The females never leave the bags and are wingless. The males do leave the bag and usally have transparent wings. They are diurnal and often fly very fast early morning. |
