These caterpillars (or sawflies?) are eating the leaves of my port jackson fig tree (FICUS rubiginosa), every year. Their droppings is all over my driveway and other plants near that fig tree, I usually swept them and use them as fertilizer. The first picture is the culprit, 2nd pic: the droppings, 3rd and 4th: that is how the leaves looks like now.

Thanks Larry, they are very small and I have tried to find the answer on the web, no answer yet.
Almost looks like a swallowtail butterfly caterpillar, however, they mostly like to eat citrus leaves. I don't know much about the insects in your range.
