Cebysa leucotelus
Approximately 10mm long. A case covered with tiny fragments including soil and small leaf and twig detritus.
Climbing a timber retaining wall in a suburban back yard.
These creatures specialise in lichens for their diet. They can grow to a maximum of 20mm as a larva. The moth is quite attractive unlike the larvae. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co... Distribution SE Australia http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Cebysa+leu...
