Field Notes

Description:

Spotted in the backyard in Butler WA,Australia.
Any ideas?????
I was thinking its turns into some sort of moth. but really have no idea.
There are small blue dots on the sides and when it woke up it had 2 horns on his head.

Notes:

Could it be a species of snout moth from the genus Entometa.??
