Unidentified Looper

Description:

A plump green caterpillar about 25 to 30 mm long. The ventral side had two thin pale lines and the dorsal side showed thin white squiggly lines on a narrow background of black with broken yellow lines on either side. Spiracles clearly visible. The body had a few stiff setae. Head looked brown with some mottling. There was one pair of anal claspers, a pair of prolegs and three pairs of true legs.

Habitat:

Spotted on wattle.

Notes:

Can't find any matches so, don't have an ID for this looper. I am hoping to see this caterpillar again and follow its development. If anyone can identify it in the meantime - that would be great !
