Hi Michael. Thanks for posting this. Yoyetta celis is more typically found in association with Leptospermum and related plants. On Acacia decurrens, it is more likely to be Galanga labeculata, although your description suggest that it may be too small for that species. I suspect that there may be too many possibilities to obtain a definitive ID for this one.
