one day old Dasypodia caterpillar

They are supposed to eat acacia leaves, some species at least...So, I went to my garden and picked some leaves from in total 6 different species of acacias that I have in my garden. It seems to be a success, they do eat some of them at least, as evidenced by a little hole eaten in the leaf shown in the photo below (click on it to enlarge)...
