I think yours is an early instar of Poecilometis sp., but I am not 100% sure which one. Look at the colors and segmentation of the antennae.

Well I think you're going to be hard-pressed to ID this one. According to Brisbane Insects, this is an unidentified species. Have a look at Nymph #2. I think they're the same as your spotting. http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...
