Lomera xanthochrysa (Lateral case moth)
The Caterpillar lives in a portable silk case, which it camouflages with sticks, which are aligned roughly across the case axis. The adult male moth has a wingspan of about 3 cms. It has black wings, black antennae, and a hairy orange-brown head, thorax, and abdomen. The black scales on the wings rapidly wear off, leaving the wings nearly transparent.
