Pterolocera amplicornis
On the ground amongst native grasses, approx. 6cm long. Apparently common in in grassy fields on the outskirts of Melbourne. Oat Grass and Wallaby Grass have been identified as food plants but there are possibly more.
Thanks for the I.D Leuba

Any particular features you look for to I.D it as an Anthelid?
I think it's a Grass Anthelid - Pterolocera amplicornis
