User's notes
Hanging from silk on an acacia, swinging very conspicuously in the breeze. I put it back in the leaves and after a moment it dropped down on silk again. Very sluggish reaction to being handled. Could it be parasitised?

looks very different to the Phelotis cognata raised by David Aikers recorded on iNat

I don't think it matches any of Cathy Byrne et al larval pictures on Don's site
