Mr. Burkill exhibited some irregular casings or tests of a faggot 

 worm from Miraj, near Kolhapur. Faggot worms are the caterpillars 

 of Psychid moths, which protect their soft bodies by making over them 

 casings — faggot-like — of bits of thin twigs glued to the outside of a 

 silken bag. Usually just so many bits of twig are used as are required 

 to cover the circumference.
