Some moths do this, especially certain geometrids. It makes it tricky to ID as the markings on the forewings are not visible. This looks like a noctuid to me ?

abread111 Im not sure if anyone checks CNM apart from you and me. I will start to treat woody weeds from the Antill street entrance in the area between Clancys track and Oldfields Lane up to Centenary trail; I saw and mapped quite a few during StJW spraying. Also I hope to treat ST in that area; not sure whether I come around the 3 little cootas

Acacia baileyana

Note to self - look in Zyganids for something like this !! What an amazing wasp mimicking? moth, although I think Zyganids are not palatable ??

Hestiochora erythrota

Marg I'm guessing Tapirlord may not pic up/respond to your comment as he is not in the ID history above. Probably best to prompt him through a sighting thread he is part of (e.g. your recent Senecio gunnii posting) and requesting a review to check/correct the handful of other Senecio sightings at TH?

Senecio quadridentatus

I am not convinced with Isomoralla gephyrota ID. On BOLD (incl. spelling mistake) and iNat 'Research Grade" the whitte patch on the head does not extend as far down the thorax as in above. iNat has quite a few unverified examples of this. I think it is another genus/species which I am yet to find.
