User's notes

Crawled up out of the ground (newly emerged perhaps?). Had an ant attached to one wing perhaps why it fluttered and didn't want to hang around.

Antennae not sharply in focus so I could not confirm the diamond shaped segements of a female O. australis. Very palin forewing, purple'pink hindwing and highlighted abodoment in the same colour.
