@Illilanga : I have taken the liberty of including a copy of one of your photos in
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/wing/cyclophragma.html
I hope that is OK ?
Thanks, Don

A minor point but I believe that the photos concerned are mine... in any case, I'm always glad to be of service and consider this as standing approval to post my photos elsewhere.

@ConBoekel Don was referring to a photo he used from my sighting of the same moth (Linosticha cyclophragma (A Concealer Moth)), which pre-dates this one and wasn't IDed until now. I presume he just posted to the wrong sighting.
