Notes:
The rings of colours on the cases, from the wool on which the larva was feeding, clearly shows that the case is built as a pair of plates (held above and below) grown by adding new fibres around the margin.
The larva can turn round in its case - have seen it come out of the other end.
The case looks vertically symmetrical so presumably can also be turned upside down.
