Hemibela tyranna
A 20mm hollow twig stuck to a piece of bark of an Iron Bark eucalypt. The exposed end showed a nicely beveled rim.
Eucalyptus tree
I was so excited to spot one of these myself - I hear they are everywhere. Larvae of Concealer Moths of the Hemibela sp tunnel out sticks to live in them while they feed on eucalyptus leaves. They change tubes as they grow bigger..

Thanks Karen - will add it to the mission.
I want to know what sort of glue they use.
Great spot Leuba!
I'm sure Ava would like this in her Animal Architecture mission!
