@Hejor1 : ooh a photo of the shelter would be good to go with these larval photos.

@donhe I should have mentioned that they make a very effective shelter with silk and fragments of plant matter. When disturbed they very quickly retreat and seem to disappear entirely. Blink and you miss it.

@donhe yes, and they were feeding on wattle of 2 species. I couldn't see any obvious difference so collected from both trees and will keep an eye on them to see how they develop.
