Beautiful. Dan and Martin, what about this: Timandra punctinervis http://www.flickr.com/photos/mothlady/6243396695/in/photostream/
Dan. I think we have different moths, all geometridae, (which is like saying they are all moths because that group so big). Mine had darker cutouts on the fore wing tips. I think we are still stuck on yours and my second one.
Thanks martinl. Sorry for not seeing your comments earlier. It does look like your spotting from the first comment.
Here's another similar one I cannot get this either. http://www.flickr.com/photos/66925960@N08/6085306361/in/set-72157627530240242/
While I still cant find your insect, this link may help. http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/geometridae/geometridae-moths.html
I had trouble with this one too, but help came along as it sometimes does http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7892962
Really tough one... Already less information on Asian Fauna... Checked 4 Tribes in Geometridae... lot to crosscheck....!!
