Geometridae, Ennominae (??), please, verify the family!! I never would have thought about Geometridae, rather Arctiinae or Lithosiinae, though... It is Declana egregia, an endemic to South Island of New Zealand! http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/407729-Declana-egregia http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=523160 http://www.rodmorris.co.nz/New-Zealand-Invertebrates/New-Zealand-Invertebrates/i-hzB9SDK
