@TimL : There are at least 3 different species here. Please can you crop the photos and submit each species separately?

Stunning shots. bigger with yellow spots = Glyphipterix chrysoplanetis
Broad white bars, yellow/fawn collar = Glyphipterix meteora
very thin white stripes - might be Glyphipterix platydisema ?
It would be very helpful to have the different moths in separate sightings

As requested, the images have been been uploaded as separate sightings 4615879, 4615880 and 4615881. Best I can do given the distribution of the three types of moths on this flower.

Thanks Tim. It's a bit rough and ready but this is an example of how I dealt with a confusing, multiple moth situation - Sighting 4602468
