Can anyone identify this caterpillar? Noticed it this morning, crossing
the footpath between old and new Parliament House, and carrying with it
a protective cover fashioned out of small twigs that have been chopped
to length and fastened together with adhesive of some sort. To give some
scale, apart from the one longer twig, the other twigs were about 2cm long.
