Thanks for your photo. I have downloaded the original photo, cropped it and added it back to aid in identification.

A relative of Aethyssius, being in the same subfamily.

Michaelb thanks for the crop and blow-up. I often do that myself, but neglected to do so on this occasion.

Hi Kim, thanks. I uploaded and suggested Nyctemera amica at Gossan Hill on 30/10/16, but the original image was poor. I cropped and magnified the image recently. I wonder if you could look at that TBC species again and make a verdict?
