The bush had many caterpillars, of varying stages of development, the previous day. When I returned with the camera all the big ones were missing ( Black-Faced Cuckoo-Shrike ? Euro. Wasps ? ???) In subsequent visits I have found none. see

Sorry that the photos are not very good. I’m happy to just leave it as a species in the grass family.

Poa sp.

You ID hydroptilids successfully (small size, pointed wings with long fringes, although one or two genera have rounded wings). Beyond that, when keying out caddisflies presence or absence of ocelli on head ('eye spots' but these can be difficult to see); flexibility or not of last segment of maxillary palps (if flexible they usually fold back at rest); form of dorsal surface of middle segment of thorax; number of spurs on legs; a few species are easy to identify from their wing patterns. Other useful features are difficult to see on live specimens or without a microscope. Alice

Hydropsychidae sp. (family)

Not convincing at this stage. Looking forward to added photos of later instars.
