a case moth of some sort I'm thinking ... perhaps you'll be able to raise him (or her) through to the adult (?)

Many moths in this family can be identified by their cases - it is believed that they are quite species-specific. This one, doesn't seem to have been identified.

Thanks Kerri, the next day I looked it was gone, so sadly, no hope of seeing whatever emerged.
