This caterpillar was curling itself into a leaf. Collected one that was completed. Update. Now raised to adulthood. See https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4343377

Thanks Don. I've brought one home that will hopefully mature and reveal its identity.

The spots along the back, the 'collar', and the swept back 'forehead', are found on both Pyraloidea and Gelichioidea larvae. The only way to identify it is rearing it to the adult.
