Two orange insects are hanging flies - so a predation event

Confession first. I kept walking past and Suzi called me back to see!! She showed me the tubular shelters and how the subsequent growth of leaves resulted in the conspicuous loop. 1st photo shows some adjacent chewing while 2nd shows a couple of doubled back leaves forming loop.

There is doubt of course as my photos not especially clear and we did not peel open shelter to reveal larvae or pupae. Nice to have an alternative breeding site though.

Looking at ALA there is a species listed to this genus as bimaculata, or two spots: this seems indicative
Macrosiagon sp. (genus)
