Hi Brian
Its a sawfly larva and I think its
Periclista lineolata.
In most cases sawfly larvae have 6 or more pairs of abdominal prolegs so if the total number of pairs of true legs and prolegs is 9 or more then they are sawfly larvae
Keep em coming guys :-0
cheers for that Paul,hope you are soon on the mend,all the best bri.
