No, nor did I but ...I suspect it is an understudied and reported group. Only 421 sightings for the group on iNat. Above moth is quite like
https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/taxa/1516432-Pseliastis-spectropa
not that species but compare the wing and head (domed, smooth, bulbous) shape and the nature of the markings.

And following on from the other sighting, I'm also happy these are all the same species of ant despite the variation in size of the individuals. Some types of ant are monomorphic, having virtually all workers more-or-less the same size, but some are polymorphic and have workers which can vary widely in size. Cheers, Jon

Hi Cath, I'm pretty happy these are Ambylopone australis although you don't often see this much colour and hairyness in a photo. The smaller ant might be Anonychomyrma, but difficult to tell. I would guess that both nests were disturbed and so they were all a bit cross when you took the photo. Cheers, Jon

Possibly a weather-beaten Agaricus.
