Metura elongatus
About 10cm long!
Should be up a tree or something but this was on a bench seat!
Neat. This is the largest casemoth (in the universe, I think). The nocturnal caterpillar eats gum leaves and then stitches itself to a branch before it naps in the daytime. She has no winged moth stage and will never leave her home.
