In lieu of a comprehensive study or guide to the larvae of the nearly 60 species in subfamily Perginae; subfamily level identification is the only valid option.

Hi @DallasCheryl , thanks for the record. Small mammals are hard to ID from photos and those photos, well let us say I have seen sharper, closer, clearer ones from every possible angle. Its long tail, long ears, and pale fur on the upperside of its feet make it looks like the non-native Rattus rattus but the other factor I'm going from is that no other Rattus has ever been found in the Canberra suburbs to my knowledge. We dont have Melomys down here. We have Rattus fuscipes well out in the bush away from the suburbs, Mastacomys fuscus high up in Namadgi and Hydromys chrysogaster in the lakes and rivers.
