Burmy appears to be based on a {{wp|bagworm moth|bagworm}}, which makes cocoons by sewing together surrounding materials (usually leaves or scraps of wood) with its silk. Its evolutions into Wormadam or Mothim reflect the bagworm's natural life cycle — males will metamorphose into a flying moth, while females undergo little change and remain inside their cocoon lifelong. | Burmy appears to be based on a {{wp|bagworm moth|bagworm}}, which makes cocoons by sewing together surrounding materials (usually leaves or scraps of wood) with its silk.

The Trash Cloak form specifically appears to be made of {{wp|fiberglass}} insulation, a wool-like padding that is often dyed pink — this seems to be alluded to in its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, where it is described as surprisingly comfortable, due to its spongey texture. The idea of a cloak made from household materials may be inspired by {{wp|Phereoeca uterella|household casebearer moths}}, whose larvae exhibit the same cloaking behaviour as bagworms, and make cloaks from dust, hair, and dirt they scavenge from homes. | The Trash Cloak form specifically appears to be made of {{wp|fiberglass}} insulation, a wool-like padding that is often dyed pink — this seems to be alluded to in its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, where it is described as surprisingly comfortable, due to its spongey texture.
