Hi Ken:
did you capture it for rearing to identify it from the adult moth?
Cheers,
Don

Sorry Don my permit is for plants only. In my much younger days back in Sydney when I tried to rear them to adults it was an exercise in frustration as many caterpillars had parasites.

Yes, the odds are against it, especially for that poor chap with the red mite hanging off the side.
