@donhe and @ibaird I went back and collected one, hopefully it survives to adulthood

@Hejor1 : there may be more than one larva species with similar patterns on the bushes, so please be sure to attach a photo of the particular larva that you are rearing to a photo of it's adult.

@donhe this one is growing really well, more photos added. It's happy on the cassinia but I've given it some other options just in case. Almost 3cm now, more than doubled in length.

@donhe new photo added, but unfortunately perished a few days after reaching 5cm in length.
