Little maggot like grubs on lilly pilly

Hi there crazy kids!!!
Like to know if anyone knows what type of beetle/moth, these little grubs/caterpillars come from? They have attacked a number of lilly pillies and removed much of the foliage. They are about half a centimetre long. I have applied "Folimat" to get rid of them so we will see what happens.
Actually at second glance, they look like baby beetles. I'm wondering if they might be Dendrobium beetles or maybe even young Green Strip Leaf Beetles ?? I have not seen this type of bug before but the 1st photo shows 2 of them
Regards
John
