I have it in captivity to rear if required?

Of the 8 caterpillar species of Hadeninae with published photos, it does look like a Mythimna species, but there are 54 other named Australian species in Hadeninae that it might be. Yes, it would be very good to rear it and try and get an adult moth.
Any idea of its foodplant?
