Ian, thank you. I noticed that this one seemed smaller and more agile compared with the foresters I had observed so far. It would be nice to get one down to species level ID!

Given you say its was smaller I'm less confident of the ID. Moth in the ACT says the larger blue green foresters are P. viridipulverulenta. I thought the head extent of blue-green colour didnt seem to match smaller Pollanisus (genus) species examples.

Oh oh! I did say 'seemed'! Did you note the slight kink in the antennae?
