Metura elongatus
Male larvae
"Larvae create a silken shelter, which is initially covered with bits of leaf, but later also with short twigs. They live and pupate within this shelter. When threatened, they temporarily seal the front opening of the case until the danger is past" (Wikipedia)
Psychidae, probably Metura elongatus.
