Hi Alison, this is the pupa of one of the common Canberra ladybirds that prey on aphids and other small insects. So it's not the plum culprit.

Hi Kim, I thought it was a Ladybird larvae. In the photo it is clearly attached tot he plum and I found at least two others firmly attached to plums also, though perhaps they were feeding on something inside the plums.
