This lovely moth, when I looked at it on Atlas of Living Australia, was there, this photo, but was classified as a Plant! A bug of the wrong kind.
71e3e138-e2ba-4d82-9b26-08a19ca50e56 is the ALA record.

Thanks WendyEM, but I was actually looking for plants at the Currawang TSR, so was rather surprised to get this moth pop up! Mapping on ALA is not so easy, but this particular error is beyond comprehension - not due to anything I did.
