 from the page : lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/pter/anisod.html" This is a tiny green or brown Caterpillar which is covered in long white scale-like bristles which are modified setae. It may have a reddish line down its back. It usually feeds by tunneling into the flower buds of its food plants. From Gympie to Sydney it is a pest on: Geranium ( Pelargonium x zonale, GERANIACEAE ) "

. Anyway, to identify the species, would be more interesting (and useful) to learn the country !
