That has sticks parallel to the case axis at the front, and smaller sticks transverse to the case axis at the rear, making it a Two-ways Case moth like

which so far no-one has reared to get an adult male moth for identification of the species.
@MatthewFrawley : please could you perhaps rear this one ?
