Possibly, but thst species has mainly a tropical and wider overseas distrubution. I coiuld not see any online records south of Brisbane. Just as likely to be Exelastis phlyctaenias it would seem. I doubt whether I could distinguish E. phlyctaenias from E. pumilio on sight alone. E. phlyctaenias has records from northern NSW but none further south that I found.
