Beautiful photo. Do we know the plant species it is sitting on?
I note specimens of this species on BOLD Hobern include one with this light orange brown mark on the forewing - and the other fine markings present seems consistent, All the BOLD Hobern specimens are from SE Australia in or near Canberra, but none of this species are shown on iNaturalist and the ALA from southern Australia yet.
