Hi Michael, I don't think I agree with this. My experience seems to indicate that these are more likely to be Paropsisterna cloelia. I am trying to conduct a study of matching larvae to the adult beetle. From previous experience I think that Paropsis atomaria larvae are more like these Paropsis atomaria (Eucalyptus leaf beetle)
