Moth?

Description:

I really do not know what that is. It emerged for a small long white egg. This larva built its hideout uniting two guava leaves. It uses its own silk and poop as a barrier against predators. The dark liquid is the result of regurgitation. I found a good link on how insects use defensive regurgitation.
