Recorded online in Victoria, NSW and Queensland, but no records easily visible from the ACT and SE NSW.

OK. Excellent photo (as usual!). This species seems to be only sparsely recorded online, perhaps because its a strongly sexually dimorphic species. This strongly marked pattern is only evident in a minority of observations, most sightings of this species are of a plainly yellow moth. Can you easliy camp overnight at the Bombay Reserve? I am thinking it would be an interesting place to visit to sample moths overnight with my UV light and sheet using my camper trailer.

Yes, you could definitely camp there easily. It's only an 8-minute drive from my house.
