  We had masses of these caterpillars feeding on Indigofera australis in our front yard during 2014 and 2015. After eating every single leaf and killing one of the Indigofera plants, they moved on to other plants in the garden, including a standard white rose that this one is eating.

  1. Russell Best  What is the size of the plant? Is it not H. heterophylla?

     Reply • 08 Jan 2015

  2. • Kevin Sparrow  The one I know has a narrower leaf but maybe it is variable

       Reply • 08 Jan 2015

     • • Russell Best  heterophylla means variable leaf. Your narrow leaf used to be called H. linearis but they have all been lumped together now into H. heterophylla.

• Acacia paradoxa x stictophylla Hedge Wattle x Dandenong Wattle hybrid

  10 Sep 2014 • -38.0,145.4 • Lauren Fraser

  Long time reader, first time uploader. I am fairly confident this is a hybrid between Acacia paradoxa and Acacia stictophylla- both species are found in the reserve (Hillview Bushland Reserve). There were a number of similar individuals in close proximity. Please excuse my hand!
