If I am correct a rather colourful moth. Some suggested food plants are (a) Fishy Vine ( Austrobaileya scandens, MAGNOLIACEAE),(b) Jiman ( Steganthera laxiflora, MONIMIACEAE), and
(c) Narow-leaf Wilkiea ( Wilkiea angustifolia, MONIMIACEAE) see http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/enno/rotundata.html https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations?verifiable=true&taxon_id=546782&place_id=6744&preferred_place_id=6744 note none of the larvae seem to be varified

Thanks @CathB ! I thought of beetles initially but changed my mind when I saw the hole in all of them. It being a parasitic wasp hole makes more sense! I've reared Cadmus before and these are smaller and consistently very dark brown all over. I guess they are mimicking drops of sap because they look very similar.
