@LisaH : Is this the moth that appeared to come out of the case moth at sighting 4543880 ?

No, sorry. This is moth I saw hiding on a bursaria branch yesterday - it was very small. The moth from the tower case was around 15mm-20mm long (tip to tail).

I don;t thinK L. glabrella has this moth's distinctive white secrion of its antenna. Head not yellowish.

I think Eretmocera coracopis is quite likely because: 1. the shape of the antennae seem to match; 2. the white markings on the blacl forewing asre simialr; and 3. there is a broad white band in the black antennae two thirds from the base.
See the white band in the antennae in the photo of the set specimen at:-
