These are all found on one tree with about ten emperor gum caterpillars:). The adult was there too but this adult is from a previous spotting at Yarra bend. You can count the leg stripes to confirm the same species.

Thanks martin - this explains some of the mixture of creatures I have been searching for ID on. Nice shots too.
