This was at Botany Bay today on a honey suckle leaf. Can anyone ID it for me please?

I think I remember seeing one of these before - if I remember properly it's an Oak Sawfly larvae. I think they change their appearance quite a bit through the larval stages?

Ahhh, that would be why I didn't recognise it then.
Many thanks for the ID Denise and Michael, that's splendid.
