I love this little guy

I came out to check on my Banksia yesterday and found this little guy eating the leaves (well, relatively little : 20cm long).
I didn't realize they ate foliage. But I just sat there admiring it while it chewed half a leaf.
It has lived on my Casuarina cunninghamiana for the last month and was perfectly camoflauged for the segmented growth. Sometimes you don't even realize its there. But unfortunately I had to cut back the trunk on it. So it has obviously moved onto my Banksia now.
I feel bad because I need to cut back the Banksia too, but I'm going to wait till the Casuarina thickens more so at least it will have another home to move onto.
