User's notes
This caterpillar was being attacked by ants on the ground. I picked all the ants off it and put it on a dead leaf for the photos. I did not see it associated with any plant, though we have both grevillea and hakea (both known larval food plants) in that part of the garden. It was left in a shaded spot but I don't know if it will ultimately survive the ant attack.
