Guessing!
I was combing through clumps of Eragrostis curvula looking for larval webs of Gorgopis when I came across this sandy, spongy blob, apparently fixed at the bottom of the clump. I pulled on the blob which exposed a robust grass tunnel at the base, which was sunk in to the root area of the grass, I pulled the bag apart - it was made of a tough felty material - but could find no occupants. The bag was flattened horizontally, not vertically in examples I've seen of silk pursers. Any other suggestions welcome!

25 Oct: Long, tidily constructed tube sticking up from a hole in the ground. No inhabitant activity seen.
The tube was removed and left next to the hole.
26 Oct: A new small tube had been started overnight. There had been some fiddling with the original tube.
27 Oct: A portion of the original tube had been cut off and attached to the short new tube.
29 Oct: Three more burrows and grass tunnels found in a 2x2m area around the original burrow.
The tube was removed from burrow 2. On re-inspection 4hrs later the burrow entrance had been concealed by cut grass pieces.
The tube was removed from burrow 4 - on re-inspection the entrance had been sealed with a very strong lattice of transparent threads.
30 Oct: Five more tubes found, total now 9 in an area of 4x4m.
20 Nov: Attempted excavation of larva resulted in the lower half of a larva being recovered.
21 Nov: Larva seen (and photographed) moving bits of vegetation in the early morning (04:53) Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoVSiIsogcs
22 Nov: tubes continue to be repaired or replaced.
23 Nov: larva excavated in the early morning and housed, with its host plant, in a bucket covered with shadecloth.
28 Nov: a thorough search of the thick grass was done and 5 more tubes were discovered in the 4x4m area. Interestingly, one tube is considerably narrower than the regular sized tubes and another was found of an intermediate size.
10 Dec: no signs of the captive larva, found it dead and dry under the host grass.
18 Jan: Larvae still active - two damaged tubes were repaired on 18 and 22 Jan
16 March: live larva collected
5 Apr (approx): pupated. See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/110835074
19 May Adult eclosed. See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/117838457

Ambush life in a tub
6 Aug 2017:
I collected an adult ambush bug with 10 eggs on Diastella thymelaeoides at Pringle Bay.
17 Sep 2017:
Three of the eggs hatched. I had no idea how I would to keep these chappies alive, and indeed the first hatchling soon died. But then I discovered that they like flies, we had a heatwave and I became an expert at nabbing those tiny little ones on the window with a wet finger. Yum!
The adult was identified by Dawid Jacobs as Narina capensis, please see https://www.ispotnature.org/communities/southern-africa/view/observation/746065/pringle-bay-ambush-bug-with-eggs-currently-being-reared
I hope to double confirm this as soon as the offspring complete their life cycle.

Kleinmond little looper #3 currently being reared
22 April 2019:
Found caterpillar purely by chance on foodplant while I was taking care of the others. It was actually its amazingly dedicated commitment to the I'm-a-twig mode of camouflage that helped me find it - Erica serrata doesn't have straight green twigs! But the colouring is spot on, and indeed whenever I check on it I take a minute or so to find it again.

This is the Outramps CREW 100,000 obs and we celebrated it with Tilla who is the Head of the Threatened Plants Programme and the CREW Programme. It represents our involvement with plant monitoring from 1992 to 2021. It has been a joyous ride. So thank you all for so many years of fun, laughs and learning. Keep going!

This beautiful showy plant is the "Pride of Hermanus." Erect, semi-spreading shrublet up to 60cm. Leaves stiff, down-curved in 4's. Flowers in umbels, purplish-pink, corolla long with white frilly bib. Very sticky corolla, however the the bib is not sticky. This I am told is to allow the pollinator to enter.
