Nice pick up Matthew. Yes, looks similar to: https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/3402108. Can you remember if it was waxy?

Hi there, sorry but I can't recall whether it was waxy or not. There were a lot in my observation, I put 4-15 as a conservative estimate. There were a lot of them on the native raspberry plant.

The spots makes me think it is something else. Dworena hyacintha: http://www1.dpi.nsw.gov.au/keys/fulgor/species/dhyacint.htm
