Had this fellow visit my grevillea rosmarinifolia. Does anyone have any ideas what it shall turn into? I doubt that it shall turn into swan, maybe a butterfly of some description?

Oenochroma vinaria - Pink Bellied Moth or Hakea Wine Moth

Thanks for the heads up Shibui. I was hoping for a pretty blue butterfly. Oh well, I will just have to enjoy a pink/brown moth instead.
Percy the grub is about 5-6cm long and is getting fat eating the leaves off my little grevillea. Live and let live I say. The plant will sprout new leaves and the grub will turn into a not so gaudy moth. Win win situation.
