I have a very late season butterfly catterpillar on my Kaffir lime tree. First photo was taken on 12 May, the second on 1 June. I have been keeping an eye on it as as of 11 June it is still alive and healthy. Is this the latest occurence of larvae for this species in Canberra?

Nice! Just the one previous June larva sighting for this species on CNM by @Illilanga at Red Hill, June 2, 2019 (CNM 4227933).
