I think the markings visible on the moth forewings, hindwings and the mid-dorsal white stripe are consistent with Chlorocoma carenaria. Have you also submitted the ant for identification? You may wish to crop this image into two separate images and submit them separately as a moth and an ant species.

Thank you. I will try to re-crop the photo and submit the ant as well. I am doing the moths because of the ACT moth book project. I hope that one day I will get around to putting up my other ACT insects (lots). Katarina
