This was probably the largest. There were several that were less than 11mm long. All those spotted were on dandelion flowers.

Cannot tell if it is Heliocosma or Tineidae or Psychidae.
Can you rear a couple to get an adult moth?

These case bearers are very common on Xerochrysums, Hieracium and other yellow daisies.

Thanks all for correcting my mis-identification of this case-bearing Tortricid. I have also looked at the images of the adult that resembles some I have seen on the flowers. Also my friend LisaH has some correctly identified images of the larva in its case on the butterfly house web site.
