Could you check the plant please? It is a different plant family to that of the one I reared, so it may be omnivorous, unlike many moth caterpillars that only feed on plants in one family.
Also: yours might be a female, and I think that there are no published photos of her, so I think it would be useful to rear it to the adult. Also you would be saving it from near certain premature death.

@donhe always welcome to use but can send you better quality images and a video if you want it. I think it is feeding on Dillwynia sericea. I will also have you know I collected it and released it when I saw it was identifiable.

I hope that is OK?
May I ask on what plant was it feeding?
