Wildlife Spotting

Yes it was just a rough starting point for ve - there's a lot similar for sure.

Here's some more info on the family. They're called 'footmen moths' or 'lichen moths'. http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/arct/lithosiinae.html

Hang on, change of plan! I think I've found a match in Lithosiinae - Asura lydia. What do you think? http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/arct/lydia.html

I agree that it's probably a wasp moth, but not the Orange Shoulder Wasp Moth (Amata humeralis) in the Brisbane Insects link. The patterns look wrong to me. I've had a look on Lepidoptera Barcode of Life and apparently there are 64 species of Wasp Moths in Australia (Familly Arctiidae, Subfamily Ctenuchinae). Sigh! http://lepbarcoding.org/australia/species_checklists.php
