I can thank Argy for that one - he suggested it ages ago for another one of my spottings: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/152....
But I was never sure because the head colour is different.
Well done Rachael. This native caterpillar took me months to identify. Surprisingly this Australian native (AKA Pine beauty) feeds well on pine and can become a commercial pest. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/790...
