The dorsal tussocks are more a feature of Epicoma larvae.

What plant is it feeding on?

@AlisonMilton you know plants more than I do - do you know what this was on? I think it was something 'pine' looking.

looks to me like Casuarina. The only Epicoma sp. reported to feed on Casuarina is E. contristis
