Larvae of species from other families besides Psychidae (eg Enoplidia simplex in Oecophoridae) may live in portable cases constructed from two half leaves or 2 pieces of bark. Hope you can rear it to an adult for an ID.

Larvae of other moth families besides Oecophoridae may use similar portable shelters. Very little is known about moth larvae. Only 7% Australian moth species even have published larval photos.
