close to Pernattia pusilla but has differences so not that sp. Genduara acedesta larvae is a bit like this too, possibly another Genduara sp.

It is a caterpillar I have seen dozens of. Head capsule 'leopard print' is coarser, they have a blue band behind the red band behind head. Back smooth apart from 4 tufts behind head. see Pernattia pusilla - Barwon South West
