User's notes

Observed on Grevillea sp. though not seen feeding. However Grevillea as a host is consistent with this being a species in the subfamily Oenochrominea, see Common (1990) 'Moths of Australia', p. 368. My digital image closely matches Common's published photo. of the larva of O. vinaria, see Plate 26.10 in the same book.
