@WendyEM Looking up Isodontia sp. (genus) seems likely some of the nests were 1M off the ground and i couldn't imagine how a caterpillar would be able to carry the grass up to the hole.

Definitely carried there. Only observed when dead tree felled and split.

Could I clarify. Does the grass result from the logs sitting somewhere that the grass grew through it? Or does it appear like something carried it there?
I am not convinced these are lepidopters. While not quite like this there is for example Isodontia sp. (genus)

I know they are flighty and hide amongst vegetation, but it really helps to have a shot of the wings and also top of the abdomen.
