Bagworm moth larvae are currently living in protective baglike cases that they have made out of their own silk and plant materials. The bags, which range in size from 6 to 152 mm (0.25 to 6 inches), are constructed from silk and bits of leaves, twigs, and other debris. These bags are attached to trees, rocks, or fences while the larvae are resting or during their pupa stage. The larvae are extending their heads and thoraxes from their mobile cases to eat the leaves of host plants. Some bagworm moth larvae, known as log cabin caterpillars, are rebuilding their wooden homes multiple times as they grow larger. While the larvae of some species are eating lichen, others prefer green leaves. Bagworms usually occur on evergreens such as cedar or juniper, but they may also be found on deciduous trees like honey locusts. In this case, the bags are covered with small leaves and twigs from the host tree. A bagworm moth larva is moving through the house with their distinctive appearance in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 29, 2024.

Caterpillars are currently the most common pests of cole crops like cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), and they represent the immature larval stage of butterflies and moths. The imported cabbageworm, also known as Pieris rapae or ''cabbage worm,'' is the most common caterpillar found in gardens. Other prevalent caterpillars of cole crops include the cabbage looper, known scientifically as Trichoplusia ni, which is a significant pest that causes considerable crop damage, and the diamondback moth, whose caterpillars feed between the large veins and midribs of cole crops, with older, larger caterpillars inflicting the most feeding damage. To eliminate caterpillars, methods such as spraying with Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (Btk), sprinkling a powder over the caterpillars, and removing the caterpillars by hand are being used. Cauliflower also occasionally suffers damage from other pests like armyworms, cabbage worms, aphids, harlequin bugs, and flea beetles. In Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 3, 2024, numerous larvae are being seen coming out of a cauliflower after it has been cut.
