Is there enough of this to ID it? Looked like it was just emerging. Wings not pumped up yet. Put it in a 'safe' place overnight. Vanished this morning. Probably eaten by an antechinus.

Thanks. You guys are amazing. I assume this is different to Spilosoma curvata ... or has there been a name change?
