Lepidoscia arctiella
A beautiful case moth, almost 3cm in length with perfectly trimmed sticks added as the caterpillar grows, to form this amazing little tower. Caterpillar feeds on Proteaceae and Epacridaceae.
This was attached to a wooden sign in a nature reserve.

Thanks very much Ashley!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
