I'm thinking Lycaenidae. What is the plant? Any chance of a photo of it's head?

The plant is Cassinia longifolia. Sorry, I don't have a head photo.

The only white Lycaenid larva (Lampides boeticus) feeds on Fabaceae. Rather a lot of moth larvae feed on Asteraceae, and we do not know what most of them look like.
