This was recorded on 14 April 2021. I am intrigued; what do the prolegs tell us amongst different Anthelinae ? Or for separations Anthela sp and Pterolocera sp ?? Is there a diagram of the external anatomical parts of caterpillars on your site, Don ? lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au I find the moth ones very helpful and refer to them often, but can't find one for a caterpillar.

Anthela (genus) immature

The six basic common Australian caterpillar foods are:

Gum leaves,
Wattle leaves,
Herbaceous plant leaves,
Grass,
Lichen, and
Flower petals.
If an unknown caterpillar rejects all five, then rose petals and thinly sliced apple are good standbys. Apparently plants in Rosaceae have developed very few poisons.
