Stick Case Moth
Clania lewinii
-37.894, 145.311
Field Notes
Description:
35mm case seemingly made of many tiny fragments - seeds, sticks, also three pale green ribs (like green 'musk sticks') very straight and parallel, but unevenly spread around case.
Habitat:
Attached to young acacia longifolia.
Notes:
Seemed to 'see' very well backing off around the tiny stem it was on when I got too close. Moved quickly for a case moth.
Search has so far revealed similarities in parts only... like a combination of a ribbed and cone casemoth... is it like http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8310480
