Lophyrotoma zonalis
Almost the only creatures near plants now. About 25mm long these larvae were fairly well advanced. Possibly the nicest coloured of the Perga larvae.
Melaleuca leaves in local parkland.
Also seen last season. on the same plant. Distribution http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Lophyrotom...

I was taking photos of these guys recently and wasn't sure what they were. It's the first time they've appeared on one of our bottle-brushes. Great to find their id. Excellent images. :)
Thanks RiekoS
Interesting and nice colors.
Wow, that's an amazing graphic - it really highlights how extreme things are at the moment.

We've had about a week of no rain now... is that a drought?
Thanks Shanna - not much else around in this rotten drought. You guys have probably forgotten what drought is.
Nice shots, Argy.
