Description

Psalidostetha banksiae aka Danima banksiae in a disturbed posture. Heathcote National Park, NSW Australia, May 2013.

According to <a href="http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/noto/banks.html" rel="nofollow">Don Herbison-Evans & Stella Crossley</a>, when disturbed, the caterpillar's head and thorax are raised so that the true legs are pointed forwards. The rear end may also be raised, and then the body is 'U' shaped, with the prolegs pointing backwards.

I think that the caterpillar is on Hakea.
