Red Hill to Yarralumla Creek

Urban corridors connecting Red Hill Nature Reserve to the Yarralumla Creek drain represent an area where the restoration of ecological connectivity could enhance connections between woodlands and riparian ecosystems to benefit a number of species. There are a number of urban green space corridors in this area, including those with existing pedestrian underpasses which may provide an opportunity for safe fauna crossing under existing roads.

Perhaps a shot of the underside? - although I'm not sure it's diagnostic The shot of the hindwing from above is useful suggesting S. aplectaria, but I'm not sure,

Thank you. I'm wondering - is there anything further that I can provide for ID? The moth is still captive

Great work and congratulations on rearing the moth and larvae.
Identification of your moth and larvae is somewhat uncertain , probably Smyroides (genus). Smyroides undescribed species nr aplectaria seems to most commonly recorded similar species locally.
There are photos for S. trigramma larvae on LBH, see below
https://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/dipt/trigramma.html
but they seem to be green in colour and interstingly somewhat different to your red larvae at 4594083.
There is a photo for the underside of your moth specimen on LBH which is a close match to your underside photo for S. aplectaria

There don't seem to be larval photos on LBH for S. aplectaria.

On second thoughts I'm not sure this is Limnaecia chionospila. It seems to lack the two white bands in each antenna and the apparently most white labial palps.
