Eressa geographica - Family Arctiidae or Lymantriidae
Accurate ID welcome. Approximately 4cm long, white with black, gold and orange markings, lots of white/silver and black tussock hairs from body.
Found in dry woodland on new leaves of Hardenbergia plant - believe it was just passing through this spot in the forest though.

Thanks Dilan! It was lucky I got to see this one as usually the birds get in early and scour the area first - they might have missed this one or thought it too risky to eat.
Beautiful series kdpicturemaker!!
