Late stage larva. What was the plant it was found on. Looks like fabaceae which is atypical as a food plant.

Thanks @Jimbobo . I don't know what plant it was. It looked like some sort of fabaceae to me too. It was part of a whole lot of planted trees and bushes in this area. I will take a better photo of the plant as a separate sighting next time I'm there.
