User's notes

I have no idea even what family to put this into, let alone genus. A very odd one. Less yellow than in image, a pale tan colour.

I agree, odd. I suspect it is a moth, rather than a caddisfly.

I think it could be a moth of the family Coleophoridae. I'm certain it is not a caddisfly.

A new family of moths for NatureMapr's Canberra and Southern Tablelands region and for NatureMapr as a whole if confirmed.
