Great photos. It looks like it will turn into a pupa soon, this is the life stage that this species spends winter in Canberra. Look along the main stem/s of your lemon tree for the pupa, this is where they like to attach to the plant.

Thanks Suzi. i haven't seen any around the garden before but then I may just not have noticed them. The more you look the more you see. Peter
