Hi donhe and WendyEM! This larval image appears to be worthy of being added to Lepidoptera Butterfly House's to collection of moth larvae photos.

In the pipeline, but currently updating links to the wonderful (and numerous) BAOIC Newsletter and Metamorphosis Aus. articles, now they are available on the MABA website.

@WendyEM : how did it pupate? Have you a photo of the pupa/cocoon ?

not recorded but plenty of them about (and quick pupaters making them easy to do) so I can repeat it. I MAY have records from a year or so earlier too, when I collected (I thought) 2 sp of larvae - ended up with 3? 4? sp moths. Not got to those records yet and can't remember details.
