P. papuensis larvae?

@donhe , @ibaird , because of the question mark over the identification of adult moth Psilogramma (genus) (A Psilogramma moth) I have collected three larvae (from another tree) to try to raise them to adults. Two were on branches and one was on the ground, possibly ready to pupate.

Larvae were submitted separately. Maybe I should have kept the adult longer, until it was verified. There is another pupa so I will keep the adult longer when (if) it emerges.

Not obvious that the moth is P. casuarinae.

I think the larva and the photos of the moth should be submitted separately.
Adult moth I think not fully emerged so hard to be sure about wing markings.
