Possibly P. fastidiosa but can't be sure.

Hi Alison. I was actually thinking of your research project so popped this one in for you to have a look at. I have some more leaf beetle larvae predation events in the pipeline but I am hundreds of submissions behind ATM so it might take a while.

Thanks Con. I'm also hundreds of record behind, dating back some time. A find on my my recent trip to The Pinnacle made me realise that the larvae of Paropsis atomaria and Paropsisterna fastidiosa may look similar at this stage, so hard to tell. Look forward to your larvae postings.
