Thanks Ric3. They are quite a pretty moth when they are seen against the leaves

I like its dorsal pattern.

sorry Argy, for some reason I thought you were a southerner from near Fern Tree Gully

They are a pretty moth. I am surprised you don't get them. Perhaps more out in the grasslands of the "blue stone"

Beautiful little moth. I don't think we get those round here.
