@kasiaaus : I am unclear why you think it is Acropolitis sp rather than say Dichelia or Epiphyas ?

Hi Don. The simple answer is that I'm not very good at this :-) but I was looking at shape and colour and I never found a good match anyway.

I agree, the shape suggests Acropolitis (genus) or Thrincophora (genus), however I would say T. impletana is the most likely, given, that what pattern is there, to me, suggests that species.
