Eucalyptus weevil larva

Description:

A fleshy pale green larva about 10mm long. The larva had a median and two lateral black lines running along its body. Also seen coming out of its rear end was a dried-up curled string of black frass.

Habitat:

On a leaf of a young eucalytpus tree

Notes:

Here is a spotting of the adult weevil http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/920... The larvae feed only on the upper surface of the leaf, leaving a clear tract behind them. Although considered a pest, they do not cause significant damage to the trees.
