Excuvia possibly from Endoxyla leucomochla <a href="https://ausemade.com.au/flora-fauna/fauna/insects/witchetty-grub/" rel="nofollow">https://ausemade.com.au/flora-fauna/fauna/insects/witchetty-grub/</a><br />
The witchetty grub (also spelt as Witjuti) is the larvae of the cossid moth (Endoxyla leucomochla). The larvae of this large grey moth can grow to 6 cm and longer. The large grub is found mainly in the woody roots of the witchetty bush (Acacia kempeana) where it makes its home. The witchetty bush is an important plant for the Indigenous People of Australia. During a really good season, you can collect up to as many as 50 grubs from the roots of one decent sized bush. Australia,Eamw caterpillars,Eamw moth,Endoxyla ew,Fall,Geotagged Click/tap to enlarge
