A very smooth, shiny moth with long fine antennae and protuberant mouth parts. Flat at rest with grey, waxy looking wings with some small black spots.

Habitat:

Attracted to night lights at the local school.

Notes:

Not happy with this name as it's only in Qld? <br> Looks like the silver version of this one http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/38720029
