While widely recognized as a notable pest of eastern red cedar and junipers, bagworms will attack arborvitae, spruce and pine. An array of broadleaf trees, shrubs and ornamentals serve as hosts to bagworms: willow, maple, oak box elder, sycamore, poplar, locust, rose barberry, pyracanthia, clematis, sumac elm, cherry, quince pear, peach and blackberry. In the absence of these hosts, bagworms reportedly feed freely on clover, ragweed, parsley and nightshade.
