I had these moths at another site last week. They don't fly far when disturbed and then fan their wings in and out open closed until finally settling with closed, giving photo ops for the pretty underside

OK, but looking at the underside pattern for C. opipera on Lepidoptera Butterfly House, its similar, but I'm not sure it matches.

I was using Moths of Vic, after posting that I then wondered about C correlata

Spots and lines look pretty good. Are you worried about the dark suffused patch on back of forewing? Picture of underside of C. insulsata lacks this patch. Peter says it may/may not be same sp.

The two sub-marginal patches under the hindwing look more like C. correlata to me.
