Gum-Leaf Skeletoniser Pupae

Not a pupa. This is a parasitised larval exoskeleton. J.Farr BAgSc Phd Forest entomologist. DBCA, Conservation Science Western Australia

That's fascinating, thanks so much for sharing

No- it is a caterpillar. Look at the left end and you can clearly see the well defined head capsule with the adfrontal sutures (a bit of scientific terminology). The apparent multi-feet are indeed clumped, wet setae.

ID is inferred based on location and what appears to be apolysis.

The many little feet make me think it's a decapod of some sort http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decapoda

A hairy caterpillar with the "wet-cat-lick" look!
