It looks like larva of Psychidae moth to me. They usually make cases from plant material, but some of them can as well use sand particles - for example Diplodoma or Teleporia. But I'm not a lepidopterologist, so that's only my guess  |

I think there are a few families in Tineoidea that make cases like that, but Psychidae is the most probable in my opinion too. |

I think it's larva of Psychidae, dahlica triquetrella. Willy |

Hi Brian, I made it here! I seem to recall there was an article on terrestrial caddis fies in the current edition of British Wildlife. Cheeers! Denis |
