@AlisonMilton : if you twist it, can you see if the pattern is helical or is the case made of cylinders with sloping interfaces ?

@DianneClarke Hi Dianne, Having found many case moths I can say that the larvae for most of them look very much alike. Maybe if they came completely out of their case we could see a difference but I'm not an expert. Cheers Alison
