I have some actias Selene larva. I am feeding them sweet gum but it’s getting to be autumn and I will probably need to switch to eucalyptus the evergreen option but I don’t know what it looks like I have a plant I suspect to be it but I’ll need you to tell me that I have attached a photo of it

That does not look like an Eucalyptus species; they would never have fruits like that, nor flower buds, as these would be missing the characteristic cap (unless it's relatively small and unnoticeable in your photo).
If you want to try E. gunnii, you'd be looking for very distinct blueish leaves in young trees, which, when broken, have an intense and specific fragrance. Depending on where you live, this might be available in local plant houses. You might also find similar-looking, more ornamental species in the genus.

Sounds good thanks

There are more Evergreen plante for selene
Easier to get and better for the Cats. Feed em with rhododendron or Prunus laurocerasus
Best wishes
