User's notes

This follow-up sighting of the four caterpillars today wouldn't have been possible without RodDeb generously sharing their initial sighting of them yesterday. Many thanks to them. Unsure as to the plant the caterpillars were feeding on. The final image shows the plant in the ANBG Rainforest Gully.
