J thanks for notifying the mission !!
Please add this and your other moths/moth caterpillars to my mission, "Moths of the World."

Erebidae, Lymantriinae, Orgyiini, Olene sp. and most probably Olene mendosa. Please, verify! http://www.flickr.com/photos/gancw1/4039074708/ http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_noct/BrownTussock.htm http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/lyma/mendosa.html
