This one is a fern dwelling Arbanitis that was imported with the ferns to the gardens. There is also local Stanwellia occurring on Issacs's Ridge, I've also found some out in the Lower Cotter Catchment Area. Although they're not often seen as they can be very illusive

Arbanitis sp. (genus)

Ovipostor valves not visible for positive species identification. P.affinis or P.dorsalis.

I suggest the measurement quoted is in error. The shape, placing, and projecting hairs, look very like the cocoon of C. collesi

How does such a big caterpillar fit itself into that size cocoon?
