Field Guide to the Butterflies of the ACT gives larvae present Oct-Nov so these are a bit late. I put them as a separate sighting in case they were not J. ictinus.

Hi Mike, I updated the months that Jalmenus ictinus larvae are present in the 2018 edition of the field guide, so the revised months are from October to February.
