@Hejor1 : have you got a photo showing the whole length of the case? I need to know if there is one stick much longer than the others, which is the superficial diagnostic to distinguish the larvae of the two Australian species of Clania .

@donhe unfortunately they didn’t turn out, however the second photo is the bottom of the case and they were all roughly even - no long one.

@Hejor1 : thanks : yes the bottom looks pretty even, but one is sticking out at the top, so probably C. ignobilis.
