I suspect this is not a Cup Moth cocoon. It looks too flimsy and they attach to trees. It appears to be in spider web. Spider egg case ??

On the ALA the distribution of E talantias is SE inland NSW with one record on the NSW north coast.
This record is from Victoria. I would have thought E. tyrannica would also be a candidate,

Edosa (genus)

Edosa purella is also a far northern species and only has a very narrow yellow stripe on the wings.

E. talantias is more south than it according to BOLD (Hobern)

iNat only has E. talantias for southern 1/2 of Australia
