They just use whatever organic matter in their immediate surroundings. So if there are sticks, theyโ€™ll build a cabin๐Ÿ˜†

Also, only male bagworms become moths. Females stay as a bagworm and never leave their bag/case.

Why is this nsfw, are the log cabins not up to code?

Caddisfly larvae also do this, although they are aquatic. In fact you can identify caddisfly species based on the casings the larvae build.
