I've suggested moth 1st, so the moth experts can check it.

The large larva is family Lasiocompidae. I assume the plant is a Casuarina? If so, the small green larvae may be Munychryia senicula (Anthelidae). I'd love to collect some and rear them.

I expect the plant to be a Proteaceae, maybe Grevillea.
