not sure where it came from, was digging out a root , without any vegetation around except grass. Alive and well.

The pair of black stripes on the "face" is characteristic of Porela species. I hope you can rear it to an adult to determine which species it is, though we can tell it is not P. delineata or P. cinerea, there are still 13 other named Australian Porela species it could be.
