These had stripped on Lomatia myricoides of foliage and were also on Baeckea utilis, they were also feeding Harpobittacus australis

Larvae look similar to younger O. vinaria larvae, but references usulally indicate that O. vinaria larvae are usually found on Proteace a (e.g. Banksia, Hakea etc.)

Lomatia myricoides is in Proteaceae. I suspect that they strayed onto the Baeckea utilis (Myrtaceae) out of desperation.
