New Growth

My Eucalyptus leucoxylon, the only one of my eucalypts to survive the water-logged soil, has started growing again. That's a relief, but it hasn't taken long for the insect world to find the new growth:
Probably sawfly larvae, species unidentified.

yep sawfly larvae, but only young ones far i think.
In the words of the Good Doctor "ExterminateExterminateExterminate"!! If you don't do it no one else will, the birds leave them alone as they spit. I got most of mine last year.
